To understand heart care and cardiovascular disease we need to know how the heart works and the circulatory system. Our heart is a muscular organ located suction to kin from the center of the chest. A normal heart is about the size of a fist and weighs about 12 oz (340 grams), It is shaped like an inverted cone. The apex of the heart is located in the fifth intercostal space on the left side and on the midclavicular line (Applegate 1995).
