The Wonders of the Human Heart: From Circulation to Heart Transplants

Your heart beats around 100,000 times a day, pushing blood through 60,000 miles of vessels!

That’s enough to circle the Earth twice.

This relentless pump delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell, keeping you alive.

But did you know your heart has its own electrical system?

It generates impulses that keep it beating, even outside the body!

Without this built-in pacemaker, life wouldn’t be possible.

Surgeons remove a failing heart and replace it with a healthy donor heart, connecting every artery and vein

with extreme precision.

The biggest challenge?

Preventing rejection.

Patients take special drugs to help their body accept the new heart.

But what if we could grow hearts in a lab?

Scientists are working on lab-grown hearts using stem cells!

Imagine a future where no one has to wait for a donor.

By growing heart tissue from a patient’s own cells, doctors could create a perfect match, eliminating rejection risks.

3D bioprinting is also making this dream closer to reality.

While we’re not there yet, breakthroughs happen every year.

Could artificial hearts replace transplants entirely?
