The heart is the main part of the Cardiovascular System and is found in the human body in the left centre (between the lungs). The heart function is to pump oxygenated blood around the body through arteries and to collect deoxygenated blood through the veins. These two processes are separated into the heart's left and right hand side respectively[1] which are subdivided into four chambers [2]. The Upper chambers are known as the Atria, and the lower chambers are called ventricles [3]. The wall separating the ventricles is known as the ventricular septum [4].
