Please tell me what you think of my heartbeat sound - a little bit murmury with an almost painful skip!

The discovery that the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart are a single band of tissue was made as recently as 1972 by Francisco Torrent-Guasp of Spain. This continuous band of muscle is now known as the helical ventricular myocardial band (HVMB) and coils upon itself in a double-helix.The band has a twist where the right ventricle (blue shades) joins the larger and stronger left ventricle (red shades). AO is the aorta, and PA is the pulmonary artery.

I’m trying to let the Lord Jesus into my heart, but I’m dummy thicc, and the clap of my ventricles keeps alerting Satan

Isovolumetric Ventricular Contraction

[ramblebrambleamble]

If the heart was a piece of architecture, then

I envision vaulted ventricles and veins,

And grand arched arteries.

The walls would be thick and strong,

And butressed by the airy-looking lungs.

Blood cells would flock to wonder

At each carefully-constructed chamber,

And I would sit back and rake in

All of the visitor's fees.
