Kardióaktivitás

Kardióaktivitás refers to the state of the heart being active and functioning. This encompasses all the electrical and mechanical processes that enable the heart to pump blood throughout the body. When we talk about kardióaktivitás, we are essentially describing the heart's continuous work as a muscle.

The electrical activity of the heart is what initiates each beat. Specialized cells in the sinoatrial node generate electrical impulses that travel through the heart’s conduction system, causing the atria and then the ventricles to contract. This electrical rhythm is what can be measured by an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).

The mechanical activity is the actual pumping action. The coordinated contractions and relaxations of the heart chambers force blood to circulate. This pumping ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the body's tissues, and waste products are removed.

Maintaining healthy kardióaktivitás is crucial for overall health. Factors like regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and managing stress contribute to optimal heart function. Conversely, conditions that impair this activity can lead to serious health problems. Monitoring and understanding kardióaktivitás is a fundamental aspect of cardiovascular health assessment.
