A Patient's Guide to Heart Surgery

About the Heart

The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist that pumps blood throughout the body. It is made up of four chambers: two upper chambers, called atria; and two lower chambers, called ventricles. There are four valves in the heart which direct blood flow between the chambers and the rest of the body.

More women die from heart disease than the next 16 causes combined. Although so many women are at risk, especially women after menopause, few recognize the risk factors and take steps to reduce them. If left untreated, coronary heart disease leads to heart attack and heart failure.
