Human Heart and Cardiovascular Problems

Our hearts are the most important organs in our bodies. Our hearts pump blood around our bodies through automatic rhythmic continuous contractions, delivering oxygen, nutrients and hormones to all parts of our bodies and returning oxygen depleted blood to the lungs for re-oxygenation throughout our entire lives. 
          
Human heart is a small muscular organ with 4 chambers. The 2 smaller upper chambers are referred to as 'atria' and the larger lower chambers are called 'ventricles'. On average, a human heart weighs only about 300 g. The heart is a very responsive and a very hard working organ. It produces about 2.5 billion beats during the course of an average lifetime and pumps approximately 300 million litres of blood around human body. Human heart can respond very fast to the changing requirements of the body. It can increase its output from as little as 5 litres of blood per minute to as much as 35 litres per minute, thus delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues at the time of greater needs (i.e. during increased physical efforts).

Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for one in every three deaths. Circa 18 million people die of cardiovascular diseases worldwide each year. The WHO (World Health Organisation) estimates that soon the death toll from cardiovascular diseases will rise to 25 million worldwide.Obesity, physical inactivity, bad diet, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, excessive drinking and smoking and other factors all contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. You can monitor your heart health on regular basis this may contribute to prevention of cardiovascular disease and enable you to live a healthy and long life.

It is important to be kind to your heart and look after it as best as possible. Leading healthy lifestyles with healthy diets, plenty of exercise and no smoking are crucial to our overall health, cardiac health, fitness and longevity. It is also important to be aware of any potential problems that our hearts could be developing and consult medical professionals immediately. Cardiac problems require early attention as delays in diagnosis and appropriate actions taken could lead to a cardiac damage. 

One of the most common methods of detecting heart problems is a painless procedure called electrocardiography or the ECG. The procedure is carried out on a machine - an electrocardiograph - that records and graphically presents the electrical impulses generated in the heart muscle each time the heart beats. The ECG aids doctors in diagnosing of heart arrhythmia and abnormalities (i.e. enlarged or stressed hearts) as well as detect the remaining signs of previously suffered heart attacks.
