Human heart — anterior view
Understand the remarkable system that keeps every beat moving. Select any part of the diagram to read what it does.
Four rooms, two pumps. The right side sends blood to the lungs; the left side sends it to the body.
Anterior view. The patient’s right side appears on the left, as it would if they were facing you.
One beat, start to finish
Select a marker on the diagram to read about that part. Or follow a single circuit of blood through the heart — it happens about once a second, for your whole life.

Dr. Ashish Chauhan | Cardiologist | Gwalior | World Heart Day | Dil Se Dil Tak Healthy Heart
A World Heart Day conversation on what actually reduces cardiac risk, recorded for Zee Madhya Pradesh Chhattisgarh's heart-health series.

A short set of questions to help you judge how quickly a symptom should be looked at. It does not diagnose anything — it sorts what you describe into today, soon, or routine.
What are you experiencing?
Pick the closest match. A few questions follow — the first ones check for anything that needs attention today.
This tool provides general educational information and does not diagnose medical conditions. Nothing you enter is recorded or sent anywhere.
Three groups, answering three different reasons people come.
“Something is wrong and I need someone to work out what.”
Cardiac consultation
The consultation begins with the history, which in cardiology is often more informative than any single test. What the symptom feels like, what brings it on and what settles it narrows the possibilities before anything is measured. Examination and an ECG follow, and further tests are ordered only where the result would change the plan. You should leave knowing what is being considered, what has been ruled out, and what happens next.
- Second opinion
- A fresh review of an existing diagnosis, angiogram or advice, including whether a proposed procedure is necessary.
- Chest pain evaluation
- Working out whether chest discomfort is cardiac, and if it is, how urgent it is.
- Follow-up and long-term care
- Continuing review for coronary disease, heart failure, valve disease and rhythm disorders.
- Care after a stent or cardiac procedure
- Structured review after angioplasty, device implantation or cardiac surgery.
“I have been told I need a test. What is it and what will it show?”
Echocardiography
The echocardiogram is the workhorse of cardiology. It measures ejection fraction, shows whether any region of muscle is moving poorly, assesses every valve for narrowing and leakage, and estimates pressure in the lungs. It takes half an hour, involves no needles and no radiation, and can be repeated as often as needed.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- A few minutes, ten stickers, and an immediate read on rhythm, previous infarction and muscle strain.
- Treadmill stress test
- An ECG recorded while the heart is working hard, to reveal what a resting trace cannot.
- Holter and ambulatory monitoring
- Continuous rhythm recording for 24 to 72 hours, to catch what only happens at home.
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
- Automatic readings through day and night, including the overnight dip clinic readings never see.
“Nothing is wrong yet. I want to keep it that way.”
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Risk factors compound rather than simply add — the same cholesterol level means something quite different in someone with diabetes and a family history than in someone without. The assessment brings them together, identifies which ones are worth acting on first, and sets a realistic interval for rechecking. It is particularly worth doing if a parent or sibling had heart disease before 55 in men or 65 in women.
- Hypertension management
- Diagnosis on proper readings, treatment to target, and review that uses your home log.
- Cholesterol management
- Lipid targets set against your overall risk, not against a single universal number.
- Diabetes and heart risk
- Cardiac assessment for people with diabetes, where warning symptoms are often blunted or absent.
- Lifestyle and activity guidance
- Practical, specific advice on diet, activity and tobacco — matched to what you actually eat and do.
Written to be read by the person who has just been given the diagnosis, not by another doctor.
Coronary artery disease
Also called CAD, Ischaemic heart disease
Narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart muscle itself, usually from gradual cholesterol build-up, which can cause chest discomfort on exertion and, if an artery closes, a heart attack.
High blood pressure
Also called Hypertension, High BP
Persistently raised pressure in the arteries. It causes no symptoms in most people for years, which is precisely why it is worth measuring rather than waiting to feel it.
Rhythm disorders
Also called Arrhythmia, Palpitations
Disturbances in the heart's electrical rhythm — too fast, too slow, or irregular. Many are harmless, some need treatment, and a few carry a stroke risk worth finding.
Heart failure
Also called Weak heart, Cardiomyopathy
A condition in which the heart cannot pump or fill well enough to meet the body's needs. The name sounds absolute; in practice it is a long-term condition that is managed, often well.
Valve disease
Also called Valvular heart disease, Leaking valve
Disease of one or more of the heart's four valves, which either narrow and obstruct flow or leak and let blood travel backwards. Often silent for years, and often first noticed as a murmur.
High cholesterol
Also called Dyslipidaemia, High LDL
An unfavourable balance of fats in the blood. It causes no symptoms whatsoever, and it is one of the main drivers of the arterial narrowing behind heart attacks and strokes.

Five questions covering the risk factors that come up most often in a first consultation.
Do you have high blood pressure?
Do you have diabetes?
Do you have high cholesterol?
Did a parent or sibling develop heart disease early?
Before 55 in men, before 65 in women.
Do you get chest discomfort or breathlessness on exertion?
5 left
These five questions cover the risk factors cardiologists ask about most often. They are educational, they do not calculate a risk score, and they are not a substitute for assessment. Nothing you select is recorded.
