Artwork of sectioned heart with healthy ECG trace

Heart nerve conduction. Illustration of a section through a human heart with an electrocardiogram (ECG) trace. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. ECG traces show the pumping of the heart as a series of waves caused by the electrical impulses that coordinate heart muscle contraction. The impulse starts at the oval sinoatrial node (yellow, at upper left) causing the two small upper heart chambers (atria) to contract. The impulse then runs down the nerve fibres (yellow) to the oval atrioventricular node (green, at upper centre). The two large lower heart chambers (ventricles, dark pink) then contract. ECG is vital for heart monitoring

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artwork of a sectioned heart accompanied by a healthy ECG trace. The intricate illustration provides a glimpse into the fascinating world of heart nerve conduction. As the primary organ responsible for pumping blood throughout our bodies, the heart is depicted as a hollow muscle with remarkable precision. The ECG traces featured in this artwork reveal the rhythmic waves that symbolize the electrical impulses coordinating each contraction of the heart muscle. Originating from the oval sinoatrial node, highlighted in vibrant yellow at the upper left corner, these impulses trigger contractions within the two small upper chambers known as atria. Following their path down through delicate nerve fibers also depicted in yellow, these impulses reach another crucial node called atrioventricular node (shown in striking green at upper center). Once there, they initiate powerful contractions within the two large lower chambers or ventricles portrayed elegantly in dark pink hues. Undoubtedly, electrocardiography plays an indispensable role in monitoring and understanding our hearts' health. This awe-inspiring artwork serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human ingenuity. By combining artistry and scientific knowledge seamlessly, Science Photo Library has created yet another masterpiece that celebrates not only our anatomy but also highlights how vital it is to care for our most precious organ – our beating heart.
