Abstract
The function of the heart is to deliver a sufficient volume of blood (V) at a rate (q) and at adequate pressure (p) to the arterial circulation which delivers it to the organs and tissues. To do this the heart must overcome viscosity and mass of its own muscle as well as that of the blood.
