It looks like a real heart. It acts like a real heart. But in reality, it’s only a super-realistic computer model.
Created by a team of doctors from the Heart Hospital in London, this virtual heart is perfect for medical students to get indepth knowledge of the heart’s anatomy.
It sure beats staring at a dull anatomy textbook or static model.
It can be viewed from both inside and out, rotated around any axis with a simple flick or click of the computer mouse or keyboard. It can even be made to simulate irregular heart beats and mirror the effects of various conditions and diseases.
