| The average adult heart beats 72 times a minute; 100,000 times a day; 3,600,000 times a year; and 2.5 billion times during a lifetime. |
 |
| The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body, continuously pumping blood around our body through blood vessels. |
 |
| Though weighing only 11 ounces on average, a healthy heart pumps 2,000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels each day. |
 |
| Every day, your heart creates enough energy to drive a truck for 20 miles (32 km). |
 |
| Your heart can keep beating even if it is separated from the body because it has its own electrical impulse. |
 |
| A kitchen faucet would need to be turned on all the way for at least 45 years to equal the amount of blood pumped by the heart in an average lifetime. |
 |
| 75 trillion cells receive blood from the heart. Only the corneas don't. |
 |
| Your heart is located in your chest and is well protected by your rib cage. |
 |
| There are four valves in the human heart, they ensure that blood only goes one way, either in or out. |
 |
| The volume of blood pumped by the heart can vary over a wide range, from five to 30 liters per minute. |
 |
| Your heart will pump nearly 1.5 million barrels of blood during your lifetime, enough to fill 200 train tank cars. |
 |
| Instead of chest pains, heart attacks in women have nausea, indigestion, and shoulder aches. |
 |
| Five percent of blood supplies the heart, 15-20% goes to the brain and central nervous system, and 22% goes to the kidneys. |
 |
| The human heart is not on the left-hand side of the body; it's in the middle. |
 | |
| Smoking makes the risk of a heart attack 200% to 400% greater than that of nonsmokers. |
