Heart failure, artwork

Heart failure, computer artwork. The figure at centre (red) has an enlarged heart, a symptom of heart failure (reduced heart function). The heart is showing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) an enlargement of the left ventricle (lower chamber). The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Coronary heart disease and other cardiac conditions require the heart to pump harder. As the heart is a muscle, it grows if it has an increased workload, leading to LVH and eventually heart failure as the heart fails to cope with the increased workload

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Heart Failure" is a thought-provoking representation of the detrimental effects of heart disease on the human body. The central figure, depicted in striking red hues, showcases an enlarged heart - a telltale sign of heart failure and reduced cardiac function. The intricate details within this computer-generated illustration highlight left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), which refers to the enlargement of the lower chamber's walls responsible for pumping oxygenated blood throughout our bodies. As coronary heart disease and other cardiac conditions place increased demands on the heart, it responds by growing larger as it attempts to meet these challenges. However, this growth eventually leads to LVH and ultimately results in heart failure when the organ can no longer cope with its heightened workload. Through this visually stunning portrayal, we are reminded that our hearts are muscles susceptible to both positive and negative adaptations based on their workload. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of how crucial it is to prioritize cardiovascular health through proper medical care and healthy lifestyle choices. Created by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional scientific imagery, this print not only captivates viewers but also educates them about the complexities of cardiology while shedding light on various disorders affecting millions worldwide.
