Unhealthy heart
Unhealthy heart, conceptual image. The main blood vessels of the heart include the vena cava (upper left), where blood arrives form the body. Blood is pumped from the left side of the heart via the lungs to the right side of the heart using the pulmonary system of blood vessels (upper right). The oxygenated blood is then pumped to the rest of the body through the main artery, the aorta (arched, upper centre), which has three smaller arteries branching from it at top centre. The heart muscle itself is supplied with fresh blood through the coronary arteries, seen on the surface of the heart. A poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to an unhealthy heart

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Unhealthy Heart" provides a striking visual representation of the detrimental effects that a poor diet and lack of exercise can have on our most vital organ. The intricate network of blood vessels within the heart is showcased, with the vena cava serving as the gateway for deoxygenated blood from the body to enter. Through the pulmonary system, this blood is then transported to be oxygenated in the lungs before returning to the right side of the heart. The arched aorta takes center stage, acting as the main artery responsible for distributing oxygen-rich blood throughout our entire body. Three smaller arteries branch out from it, ensuring every corner receives its life-sustaining flow. Overlaying this detailed anatomy are patterns and hues reminiscent of disease, emphasizing how an unhealthy lifestyle can disrupt this delicate balance. Highlighted on the surface are coronary arteries that supply fresh blood directly to the heart muscle itself – a reminder that even our powerhouse requires nourishment. This thought-provoking computer artwork masterfully combines biology and medicine into one impactful image. As we gaze upon this graphic representation, let us reflect on how crucial it is to prioritize our cardiovascular health through proper nutrition and regular physical activity. Science Photo Library's profound capture serves as both a warning sign and an inspiration for all those seeking wellness in their lives.
