Left-sided heart failure, artwork
Artwork of left-sided heart failure showing damaged heart muscle (brown, lower centre) weakening the power of the left ventricle to pump blood (red arrows) around the body. Lung oedema (fluid leakage, at right) causes the lungs air sacs to fill with fluid. Heart failure is when the heart fails to empty itself fully with each beat, causing a backflow of pressure against the pulmonary (lung) veins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library depicts left-sided heart failure, a condition characterized by damaged heart muscle and weakened pumping ability of the left ventricle. The intricate illustration showcases the brown-colored damaged heart muscle at the lower center, highlighting its role in compromising the heart's function. The red arrows symbolize the impaired flow of blood around the body due to this weakening. On the right side of the image, lung edema is portrayed through fluid leakage that fills up air sacs within the lungs. This visual representation emphasizes how left-sided heart failure can lead to pulmonary edema, causing respiratory distress as fluid accumulates in these vital organs. Heart failure occurs when each heartbeat fails to completely empty itself, resulting in increased pressure against pulmonary veins and subsequent backflow. This thought-provoking artwork serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of this complex disorder. Through this artistic portrayal, viewers gain insight into various aspects related to left-sided heart failure: disease progression, diagnostic techniques used by healthcare providers specializing in cardiology, and most importantly, its impact on overall human health. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through once again with their visually stunning yet informative depiction of a critical medical condition affecting countless lives worldwide.
