Illustration of a ventricular hole in the heart
Illustration of a ventricular hole in the heart. This hole in the septum between the two ventricles is a heart abnormality developed before birth (congenital). Below centre, the hole can be seen between column-like papillary muscles and tendons (upper centre) of a heart valve. The outer cardiac muscle is at lower right. This defect in the sep- tum that separates the ventricles causes blood to mix. Deoxygenated blood meant for the lungs may go to the body, while oxygenated blood may go back to the lungs. This is called " shunting". Such heart defects are diagnosed on an x-ray, ECG, or echo cardiogram. It is usually a treatable defect resulting from errors of development in the fetus

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of a ventricular hole in the heart, shedding light on a congenital abnormality that occurs before birth. The image focuses on the septum between the two ventricles, revealing a visible gap amidst column-like papillary muscles and tendons of a heart valve positioned above it. In the lower right corner, we witness the outer cardiac muscle. The presence of this defect disrupts the separation between ventricles, leading to an unfortunate mixing of blood within the heart. Deoxygenated blood intended for the lungs may mistakenly flow towards other parts of the body, while oxygenated blood might find its way back to the lungs. This phenomenon is referred to as "shunting". Fortunately, this condition can be diagnosed through various medical procedures such as x-rays, ECGs (electrocardiograms), or echo cardiograms. Once identified, healthcare professionals can provide appropriate treatment options for this treatable defect caused by developmental errors during fetal growth. This awe-inspiring artwork not only highlights a significant disease but also serves as a reminder of how advancements in medicine allow us to comprehend and address complex disorders affecting our vital organs like never before. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in healthcare history with their remarkable depiction of this heart abnormality.
