Artwork of heart in congestive heart failure

Heart failure. Cutaway illustration of a human heart showing congestive ventricular heart failure. Blood vessels connecting the heart to the rest of the body are at top. The bodys main vein the vena cava is blue and main artery, the aorta is red. The ventricle at right has an abnormally thick wall. This means that one side of the heart will fail to empty itself, and hence pump blood effectively at each contraction. This results in a blackflow of pressure in the veins causing abnormal swellings (oedemas) in the lungs or other organs. Other symptoms include shortness of breath and fatigue. Short-term treatment includes bed-rest and diuretic drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of a human heart suffering from congestive ventricular heart failure. The cutaway illustration provides a detailed view of the heart, with blood vessels connecting it to the rest of the body visible at the top. In this image, we can observe that one side of the heart has an abnormally thick wall, leading to ineffective pumping and failure to empty itself properly. The consequences of this condition are vividly depicted through visual cues such as abnormal swellings (oedemas) in various organs, particularly in the lungs. As pressure builds up in the veins due to backflow, symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue become apparent. This powerful representation serves as a reminder of how congestive heart failure affects individuals' daily lives. Medical professionals utilize illustrations like these for educational purposes and diagnosis discussions with patients. By highlighting key features and providing insight into cardiac function, medical practitioners can better understand how to treat patients effectively. Short-term treatment options mentioned include bed-rest and diuretic drugs which help alleviate symptoms associated with congestive ventricular heart failure. Science Photo Library offers valuable resources like this artwork for researchers, healthcare providers, educators, and anyone interested in understanding complex medical conditions visually.
