One of the biggest concerns in healthcare today is cardiovascular disease. Affecting 36% of the US population alone‚ cardiovascular disease can lead to stroke‚ heart attack‚ and even death (22). Extensive research has been done investigating the causes of cardiovascular diseases. Lipids and lipoproteins have been implicated to be one of the largest factors contributing to cardiovascular disease. In order to reduce cardiovascular disease we must understand lipid metabolism. To understand lipid metabolism

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN HEART The human heart is a cone shape‚ hollow‚ muscular organ located in the mediastinum between the lungs. It is a about the size of an adult fist. The heart rests on the diaphragm‚ tilting forward and to the left in the client’s chest. Each beat of the heart pumps about 60ml of blood‚ or 5L/min. During strenuous physical activity‚ the heart can double the amount of blood pumped to meet the increased oxygen needs of the peripheral tissues. ANTERIOR VIEW
