How the Heart Works The heart is an important pump. From the moment of development through the moment of death, the heart pumps. The heart muscle, also called cardiac muscle, contracts and relaxes an average of 70 to 80 times per minute. As the cardiac muscle contracts, it pushes blood through the chambers of the heart to the blood vessels. These blood vessels lead to all organs throughout the body. Nerves connected to the heart regulate the speed or rate at which the muscle contracts. For example, when...

In some cases, the picture of the heart may not be clear because of obesity, a barrel chest, or lung disorders. In these cases, a physician may perform a transesophageal e...
