Anatomy of the heart explains how its chambers, valves, blood vessels, and electrical system work together to circulate blood and sustain life. When any of these components are disrupted, it can lead to serious conditions such as heart disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure. Understanding how each part functions helps clarify how cardiovascular disease develops and progresses over time.
“Arrhythmias, or irregular heart rhythms, develop when the heart’s electrical signaling system is damaged or not functioning properly, often due to underlying heart disease like post-heart attack scarring or genetic causes,” explains Dr. Natalia Beridze, a cardiologist with Manhattan Cardiology in New York City. “Arrhythmias impair heart function by causing the heart to beat fast, slow, or irregularly, which reduces its ability to pump blood effectively to the body.” Read the full article here.
