What is this astonishing organ called the human heart? This organ which is the vital part of our being, without it our body will not function, what especially makes this organ so important that when mentioned in poetry, it warms us, but by mere mention of it by our doctors, alas! We're alarmed. So let's see what makes this organ the HEART of our being.

The heart in anatomy is a hollow muscular organ in the middle of the chest just to the left of the centre that pumps through the body. It's comprised of four chambers, the right and atrium (auricle), the upper part and the right and left ventricle, the lower part. It's weight around 10oz and beat on average of 50 -70 times per minute, 100,000 per day and a roughly 40 million times per year. At average lifetime of about 76years, it will beat for at least 3 billion times. it pumps around 500 gallons of blood every day.

The heart is the body system power house because every organ and tissues in the body needs a continuous supply of blood to function normally, especially the circulatory system, the brain and even the heart itself. If the heart does not pump blood for a few minutes, death will be the result. The heart is made primarily of muscle tissues that rhythmically contracts to pump blood to all parts of the body. This start from when you are born to entire lifetime.

The upper part, i.e. the atria or auricle acts as a collecting reservoir while the lower part, the ventricle contract to pump the blood on. The right side of the heart receives blood through vein coming from all over the body and pump the oxygen-poor blood that it has received to the lungs so that it can pick up oxygen form the air we breathe in, while the left side then collect the oxygen-rich blood from the lung and pumps it to all the tissues and organs in need of oxygen.

There are four valves that prevent blood from flowing back to the heart. They are the pulmonary, aortic, mitral and the tricuspid valves. The heart muscle medically known as myocardium requires a very good supply of oxygen in order to be able to pump blood different organs and tissues of the body. And this blood supply is provided by the coronary arteries and their branches. The heart is surrounded by a tough, double-layered sac known as the pericardium which has an inner layer called the epicardium. The outer layer of the epicardium helps to hold the heart in place and between these two layers is a tiny space filled with fluid them from rubbing against each other when the heart contracts.

The coronary arteries come off the aorta (the largest blood vessel in the body). The right coronary artery is usually smaller and supplies the down side of the heart. The left artery has two main branches called the Circumflex and the anterior descending. These coronary arteries are so special that blood can flow through them into the heart muscles between heart beat i.e. as it relaxes.

The Heartbeat: the right and left halve of the heart contracts in unison to produce a single heartbeat. The two phase of heartbeat are called the systole where the heart chambers contract to move blood and the diastole where the heart chambers are relaxing between a beat. Because of these two phases, the heart is able to pump much blood with each beat.

To find the best durable medical equipment supplies company you can search on the internet and this is one of the best reliable ways to find the perfect one.

When you find the perfect one you can tell them to supply the equipment as your requirements.

They will have to know about it because they may be responsible for duty (customs). Sure you may be shipping the items as a gift but then the statement "I'm not trying to fraud anyone" might not be so true!

Sorry, not trying to be hard on you, but it is reality. I would import the items to yourself then resell them. Ship domestically and you have no worries about customs/etc...

I also would not recommend dropshipping on ebay see the site dropshipping sucks at http://www.dropshippingsucks.com and read the copy there.

Good luck. Be very careful. Importing duty-free can get you noticed!

Knee Replacement Surgery Recovery In India At Affordable Low Cost

Knee Replacement Recovery

OVERVIEW

Day of Surgery

The day of knee replacement surgery is mostly a day to recover from your procedure. But it is not just about rest. Depending on the time of day of your surgery, you may be asked to sit in a chair or on the side of the bed.

Patients will begin simple activities including ankle pumps, leg lifts, and heel slides. It is important for patients to take sufficient pain medication to allow them to participate in their rehabilitation exercises. Some doctors will place you into a motion machine, called a CPM. The benefit of a CPM has not been clearly proven, and some surgeons choose not to use the device....

Hospitalization

During your hospitalization, you will meet with physical and occupational therapists. The physical therapist will work on mobility, strengthening, and walking. The occupational therapist will work with you on preparing for tasks such as washing, dressing, and other daily activities....

Discharge/Rehabilitation

Patients are usually discharged 3 to 5 days after knee replacement surgery. It is important that discharged patients be able to safely get in their homes and perform regular activities, such as getting to the bathroom and preparing food....

Walking

Most patients take their first steps after surgery with the aid of a walker. Patients with good balance and a strong upper body may opt to use crutches. Transitioning to a cane depends on two factors. First, restrictions from your surgeon -- not all surgeons allow full weight to be placed on the leg in the early weeks after surgery....

Stairs

Many patients have to navigate stairs in order to enter or get through their homes. Therefore, your therapist will work with you to get up and down steps using crutches or a walker. Usual time to return: 1 week with crutch/walker; 4 to 6 weeks unassisted....

Driving

Return to driving depends on a number of factors, including the side of your operation and the type of vehicle you have (standard or automatic). Patients need to be able to safely and quickly operate the gas and brake pedals. Under no circumstances should patients drive when taking narcotic pain medications. Usual time to return: 4 to 6 weeks....

Work

Return to work depends on the activity that you have to do at your job. Patients who work in a seated position, with limited walking, can plan on returning about 4-6 weeks from the time of surgery...

Hip Replacement Recovery Guidelines

In the surgical ward, you may be given a switch to enable you to self-administer painkillers at a safe rate, and you may be given oxygen through a mask or tubes. If necessary, you'll be given a blood transfusion....

How soon will I be up and about ?

As quickly as possible the staff will help you to get up and walk about. If you have had minimally invasive surgery you may even be able to walk on the same day as your operation.

Walking with a frame or crutches is encouraged. Most people will be walking independently with sticks after about a week....

When can I go home ?

You'll usually be in hospital for six to 10 days, depending on what progress you make and what type of knee replacement you've had. Patients who've had a half-knee replacement tend to have a shorter hospital stay. If you’re generally fit and well the surgeon may suggest an accelerated rehabilitation programme where you start walking on the day of the operation and are discharged within one to three days....

How will I feel when I get home ?

Don’t be surprised if you feel very tired at first. You've had a major operation and muscles and tissues surrounding your new knee will take time to heal. Follow the advice of the surgical team and don’t be afraid to call your GP if you have any particular worries or queries....

How long will it be before I feel normal ?

How will it affect my sex life ?

You may find that having the operation gives your sex life a boost. Your surgeon can advise when it's Ok to have sex again but as a rule of thumb, so long as you are careful, it should be fine after six to eight weeks. You should avoid vigorous sex and kneeling positions....

Will I have to go back to the hospital ?

You'll need an outpatient appointment with your GP to check on your progress usually between six and 12 weeks after your knee replacement.
