Heart Anatomy and Function Assessment

The video tutorial provides an overview of the heart's anatomy and function, describing it as a four-room structure with valves that produce heart sounds. It explains the importance of oxygen-rich blood and how cardiac output is measured. The tutorial also covers the heart's electrical conduction system, using an acronym to describe the sequence of electrical impulses. The video concludes with information on additional resources available at simplenursing.com.
