  1. Save Life with three simple heart tests 

  2. The Heart The heart is a chambered muscular organ that pump blood received from the veins into the arteries, thereby maintaining the flow of the blood through the entire circulatory system. The heart is surrounded by membrane called Pericardium.

  3. The Heart • The heart is a hallow, cone – shaped, muscular pump. The heart beats about 2.5 billions time in an average lifetime. • The left side of heart pump blood through an estimated 120, 000 km of blood vessels, which is equivalent to travelling around the earth’s equator about 3 times. • The right side of the heart pumps blood through the lungs, enabling blood to pick up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide. • Heart pumps more than about 14,000 liters of blood in a day, or 5 millions liters in a years.

  4. Blood supply to the heart • Arterial Supply • The first two branches of the aorta, called the right and left coronary arteries, supply blood to the tissues of the heart • The left coronary artery runs towards the left side of the heart and divided into two major branches: • The anterior interventricular artery follows the anterior interventricular sulcus and supplies blood to the interventricular septum and anterior walls of both ventricles.

  5. Blood supply to the heart • The circumflex artery supplies the left atrium and the posterior walls of the left ventricle. • The right coronary artery courses to the right side of the heart, it has two branches : • The right marginal artery supply blood to the lateral right side of myocardium. • The posterior interventricular artery supplies blood to the posterior ventricular walls and merges with the anterior interventricular artery.

  6. Nerve supply to the heart • The cardiac nerves are branches autonomic nerve fibers and are found at the level of the tracheal bifurcation. • Their function is to innervate the electrical conducting systems of the heart, the atrial and ventricular myocardium and the coronary vasculature. • The medulla is the primary site in the brain for regulating sympathetic and parasympathetic outflow to the heart and blood vessels.

  7. STATISTICS OF HEART ATTACK • In less developed states, the prevalence of the cardiac diseases was less: • In Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha, the prevalence of the disease varied between 3,000 and 4,000 per 1,000,000 population. • But the risk factors increased significantly compared to 1990. The disease burden has also increased about 15% in these states in recent years.

  8. Three Simple Heart Tests  1 ECG or EKG An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a test that checks how your heart is functioning by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. With eachheartbeat, an electrical impulse travels through your heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart. • An ECG measures and records the electrical activity that passes through the heart.  • An ECG may be recommended if you are experiencing arrhythmia, chest pain, or palpitations and an abnormal ECG result can be a signal of several different heart conditions.

  9. Three Simple Heart Tests  2 Echocardiogram/Ultrasound of the heart An echocardiogram (echo) is a graphic outline of the heart's movement. During an echo test, ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) from a hand-held wand placed on your chest provides pictures of the heart's valves and chambers and helps the sonographer evaluate the pumping action of the heart. Echo is often combined with Doppler ultrasound and color Doppler to evaluate blood flow across the heart's valves. • Assess the overall function of your heart • Follow the progress of valve disease over time • Evaluate the effectiveness of your medical or surgical treatments

  10. Three Simple Heart Tests  3 CT Angiogram A computed tomography angiogram (CT angiogram) is a test that uses X-rays to provide detailed pictures of the heart and the blood vessels that go to the heart, lung, brain, kidneys, head, neck, legs, and arms. • A CT angiogram can show narrowed or blocked areas of a blood vessel. • During a CT angiogram, you lie on a table that passes through a doughnut-shaped opening in the scanner. • If your doctor finds a major blockage in one of your blood vessels during a CT angiogram, you won't be able to get an immediate angioplasty to clear the blockage.
