Pumping Marvellous

What are the ventricles

The right and left ventricles have the same job however the left ventricle has a harder job than the right. The right ventricle contracts and blood is pumped out of the heart through a large vessel. And then has to pump the blood into the lungs. The left ventricle has a lot harder job it actually works six times harder then the right ventricle. The left ventricle has to pump blood through your body and this is generally the ventricle that gets damaged when a patient has heart failure. In other words it doesn’t pump as efficiently as possible.
