Illustration showing the major coronary arteries
Illustration of the human heart, featuring the major branches of the human coronary arteries, the network of blood vessels which encloses

Arteriograph of the coronary arteries of the heart
Arteriograph, tinted pink, of the coronary arteries of a normal heart. Arteriography is the x-ray examination of an artery that has been outlined by prior injection of a radio-opaque contrast medium

Coronary capillary, SEM
Coronary capillary. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a freeze- fractured coronary capillary blood vessel

Blocked coronary artery, artwork
Blocked coronary artery. Computer artwork of a clot (red) in a coronary artery. The clot has been caused by atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaques (yellow) on the artery wall

Coronary thrombosis, light micrograph
Coronary thrombosis. Light micrograph of a section through a thrombus (blood clot) in the coronary artery of the heart. The clot is packed full of red blood cells (red)

Heart disease caused by fatty foods
Heart disease caused by unhealthy food. Conceptual artwork of unhealthy foods being forced into blood vessels near the heart

Enlarged heart, X-ray
Enlarged heart. Coloured X-ray showing a patient with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), or enlargement of the left ventricle (lower chamber)

Unhealthy heart, conceptual image. The main blood vessels of the heart include the vena cava (upper left), where blood arrives form the body

Heart attack and ECG trace
Heart attack, conceptual computer artwork showing an ECG (electrocardiogram) trace from an unhealthy human heart. An ECG uses electrodes to measure the electrical activity of the heart during

Internal heart anatomy, artwork
Internal heart anatomy. Cutaway artwork revealing the four internal heart chambers and the heart valves and tendons (white). The two upper chambers are the atria

Heart muscle, SEM
Heart muscle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pectinate muscles in the wall of the right atrium of the heart

Heart anatomy, 18th century
Heart anatomy. 18th-century artwork showing the anatomy of the heart, including its coronary arteries. This artwork is from Traite de la structure du coeur, de son action

Heart and lung anatomy, 17th century
Heart and lung anatomy. 17th-century artwork showing the anatomical structure of the heart and lungs. This artwork is from the posthumously published anatomical work De homine figuris (1662)

Balloon angioplasty, artwork
Balloon angioplasty. Artwork showing balloon angioplasty treatment for stenosis (narrowing) of a coronary artery. A balloon catheter (blue)

Model human heart

Trabeculae carneae in the heart, SEM
Trabeculae carneae in the left ventricle of the heart, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Endocardial connective tissue is also seen

Heart valve surface, SEM
Heart valve surface, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Heart valves help regulate the flow of blood between heart chambers, and are smooth, thin flaps of tissue

Right atrial appendage of the heart, SEM
Right atrial appendage of the heart (centre), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This view is of the external surface of the heart

Heart valve and strings, SEM
Heart valve and strings, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This is the mitral valve (upper right), controlling the blood flow between two of the hearts chambers

Heart valves and strings, SEM
Heart valves and strings, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This dissection shows both the mitral valve (centre) and the aortic valve (upper centre)

Heart attack, artwork
MODEL RELEASED. Heart attack, conceptual computer artwork. Shattering glass seen around a man clutching his chest due to the pain of a heart attack (myocardial infarction)

Simvastatin cholesterol-lowering drug
Cholesterol-lowering drug molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the cholesterol-lowering drug Simvastatin. This drug reduces the levels of low- density lipoprotein (LDL)

Artificial heart, conceptual artwork
Artificial heart. Conceptual high-contrast computer artwork of an artificial heart showing its blood supply

"Unveiling the Intricate Network: Exploring the Coronary System and its Impact on Heart Health" The heart, a vital organ responsible for pumping life-giving blood throughout our bodies, relies on a complex network vessels to ensure its own nourishment. With an illustration depicting a heart with coronary vessels, we delve into the intricate pathways that supply oxygen-rich blood to every nook and cranny of this remarkable muscle. A stent inside an artery serves as a reminder of medical advancements in treating coronary conditions, offering hope to those affected by blockages or narrowings within these crucial vessels. Taking us back in time, a vintage 1904 arteriogram showcases early attempts at visualizing the arteries of the heart – paving the way for modern diagnostic techniques that save countless lives today. As we examine a pig's heart closely, we gain insight into how similar our own cardiovascular system is structured – highlighting both our vulnerability and resilience when it comes to matters of the heart. Through captivating artwork featuring hearts with their intricate web vessels (F006 / 3598 & F006 / 3586), we are reminded of nature's awe-inspiring design that keeps us alive day after day. In an era where technology plays an ever-increasing role in healthcare, tablet computer illustrations depict how even something as small as this device can help raise awareness about life-threatening events like heart attacks. Combining artistry with science, ECG traces alongside MRI brain scans create visually striking compositions that symbolize the interconnectedness between cardiac health and overall well-being. These captivating artworks serve not only as educational tools but also inspire appreciation for our resilient hearts while urging us to prioritize self-care and seek timely medical attention when needed. Let us embark on this journey through stunning visuals and thought-provoking imagery – exploring all facets of the coronary system and its profound impact on our heart's health.
