Healthy Heart Overview
In a normal healthy heart there are 4 chambers. This consists of right and left atria, and right and left ventricles. The Right atria and right ventricle's function is to pump blood to the lungs while the left atria and left ventricles pump blood to the rest of the body. There are valves in place that inhibit back-flow between these chambers.
