Anatomical Illustrations of the Human Heart

The adult human heart pumps about 30 litres of blood each minute, which is approximately 2,000 gallons of blood each day pumping throughout the body, in a non stop cycle. That makes 5.6 liters of blood circulating through the body three times every minute. Amazing facts, the heart is indeed an amazing organ.

This is why there are always requests for heart anatomy illustrations, and below is a gallery of just some of them. They are used for health education websites, surgeons describing heart disease to their patients, schools and educational material, publishing and patient information posters and leaflets. Please view gallery below, for examples on how medical illustrations can be used to accompany any health or pharmacueatical business, and they can be commissioned here.

Patient education is a key part of our business - learn how medical-artist.com worked directly with specialist surgeons producing anatomy Apps for the iPad. To be used as a teaching tool by surgeons for patients.

Medical art and illustration has been around for a much longer period than would be expected. What can be classed as drawings of human antatomy can be dated as far back as ancient Egyptian in 1600 BCE, the date of the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus. However, the structure of the heart in any detail was first described in 1706, by Raymond de Viessens, a French anatomy professor. Along with early drawings and what can be termed as 'medical' drawings.

With such a history, it is of no surprise that medical artists do have a purpose to illustrate what can not be seen, the living heart but in cross section for example. Artists can interpret medical matter and create illustrations to show detailed anatomy, function and pathology. Medical-artist.com specialises in producing just such art of a medical and scientific content, you can contact us here with any enquiries.
