• The reason why we feel our heart is to the left is because its arteries are situated to the left, even though the heart itself is found in the center of the chest

• Your heart would pump about 1 million barrels of blood in your lifestyle

• Men and women have different types of heart attacks

• It takes only 45 seconds for the blood to move from your heart to all parts of your body

No wonder, it is one of the most important organs in a living organism and very few of the latter could survive without it. At least, humans simply can’t!
