The heart is an amazing organ, it is the most enduring muscle of our body. The heart of an adult man pumps about five liters of blood every minute, and about 10 tons of blood in a day. During the day, a healthy heart beats about 100,000 times.The length of the human circulatory system is about 100 000 kilometers, and its area is more than half a hectare, and all of that fits in a body of an adult.The human Pulse is one of the most important indicators that allow determining if there are problems with the cardiac muscle. If the pulse becomes too fast, or slows down, or even starts knocking at uneven intervals - it should be a reason to consult a doctor. As a rule, the change in the rate and heartbeat strength is caused by various pathological processes.The statistics are sad, but there is good news.In 2016, 17.9 million people died from cardiovascular diseases, which accounted for 31% of all deaths in the world. 85% of these deaths occurred as a result of heart attack and stroke. And in 2018, this figure is expected to be about 20 million. Unfortunately, these horrifying figures tend to increase constantly.Statistics of cardiac mortality indicate that 10-15% of them are caused by heart rhythm disorder and impaired cardiac contractility - this is bad news.
