The Pumping Station

The heart is an engineering marvel. Just like a factory has pipes and valves and many other tools, the heart contains blood vessels, chambers and valves. If any of these go wrong, we can end up with coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, hypertension or heart failure

The Electric Company

The heart beats because of specialized nerve tissues that beat automatically in a rhythmic, continuous manner. Just like the spark plug ignites the engine, the electrical system ignites the heart.

 The Power Supply

Just like any other machine, your body needs a power supply. The heart and blood vessels do not create the energy but circulate it from the food we eat and from you know where. This energy is in the form of fats and sugars.
