Want to meet some of the most incredible and inspiring people around? Seek out a child who is living with a heart condition. I know there are few people I have met with that much resilience and strength…
Whenever I talk about the heart, I always break it down into four major components that need to be addressed and looked after:
1. Actual strength of the muscle pumping the blood out of the heart;
2. Blood flow that brings nutrition to the heart muscle in order for it to pump effectively;
3. Heart valves that need to work appropriately in order to direct the blood too flow to the appropriate chamber;
4. The heart’s electrical system, which delivers the energy for the muscle to work appropriately.
