The heart is divided into four chambers: two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. The heart is divided into four chambers: two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles.<\/p>\n<p>The heart is a pump that receives blood from the veins and pumps it to the arteries. The heart has two pumps, one on the right side and one on the left side. The right side pump pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen. The left side pump pumps blood to the rest of the body.<\/p>\n<p>The heart has four valves that keep the blood flowing in the right direction. The valves are:<\/p>\n<p>The aortic valve is on the left side of the heart. It opens to let blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta.<\/p>\n<p>The pulmonary valve is on the right side of the heart. It opens to let blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.<\/p>\n<p>The mitral valve is on the left side of the heart. It opens to let blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.<\/p>\n<p>The tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart. It opens to let blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Difference_Between_Heartbeat_and_Heart_Rhythm\"><\/span>What is the Difference Between Heartbeat and Heart Rhythm?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Heartbeat refers to the regular, rhythmic contractions of the heart muscle. This is what pumps blood throughout the body. The heart rhythm is the pattern of electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle to contract.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Normal_Heart_Rhythm\"><\/span>Normal Heart Rhythm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a normal heart rhythm, electrical impulses originate in the sinus node, located in the right atrium. These impulses travel through the atria and cause the atrial muscles to contract. The impulses then travel to the ventricles, causing the ventricular muscles to contract. This coordinated contraction of the atria and ventricles propels blood throughout the body.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Echocardiogram\"><\/span>Echocardiogram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>is a diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to create a picture of the heart. It is used to assess the size, shape, and function of the heart. An echocardiogram can also be used to detect heart abnormalities and diseases.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_Facts_About_Heartbeat\"><\/span>Interesting Facts About Heartbeat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The heartbeat is the regular, repeated throbbing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. The healthy human heart typically beats about 60 to 100 times per minute. The heartbeat can be felt in different areas of the body, depending on the location of the artery that is being stimulated. The most common place to feel a heartbeat is on the left side of the chest, just below the breastbone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Heartbeat?; A heartbeat is the sound of the heart beating.
