In my earlier blogs, I tried to share the basic structure of the heart and its functioning. From this blog onwards I will be attempting to form groups in which pathologies fall and are discussed. I will, then, share the cardiac diseases and pathologies based on the structural position, molecular…

Cardiovascular Pathologies — 3 (ECG-Part I) In my Blogs 1 & 2, I introduced the basic structure of the heart and its requirement in the human body for it to function normally as a pump. Let us now shift gears and talk about pure Physics, which is rooted in Electricity and Electric Charge within the human…

In my Blog-1 on CVDs, we talked about the basic functionality of the heart and how it is placed well-protected inside the human body. We used the simile of a pump for the heart that is responsible for circulating the blood throughout our body at the required pressure running through…

Heart disease tops the list of death-causing diseases according to World Health Organization (WHO)1, NIH2, and Healthline3 websites. In the medical field, it is termed cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Imagine 85% of all the deaths reported in 2019, were due to heart attack and stroke. While 75% of CVD deaths are…

The continuous beating of the heart 24x7x365 in a human body is regulated through Cardiac Control Center (CCC). It is a highly complex control mechanism. So, let me try to make it simple that even a child can understand its functioning. The closest simile to CCC is of a State-of-the-Art…

Macro Level Electrical Functioning of Heart The human heart is primarily a pump that pumps blood throughout the human body 24x7x365 days, even when a person is sleeping. In normal conditions heart pumps 60–100 times in a minute, but it also depends upon a person’s age and body to mass index (BMI), meaning if a person…

To understand Osmosis and Diffusion processes of Physics having a role in life sciences, before that let us recall something, we observe daily happening around us, day and night. We may call it a sort of “experiment we go through but rarely register it”. Try to visualize a room on…

The heart is the most vital human organ along with the brain. Both function 24x7x365 after getting formed in the womb till a person dies. Continuous functioning of both of them is extremely essential for maintaining an individual’s health in normal condition. …

A stethoscope is the first instrument that is used to start the process of diagnosing the disease of a patient. Today, meaning May 9 is the birthday of this primary and essential gadget used in medical practice across the world. The invention of the stethoscope goes back to 1816 in…
