Cardiovascular Health Education

The Faculty of Nursing at Tishk International University organized an educational seminar exploring the fascinating concept of the human body’s “second heart.” This innovative presentation examined the critical physiological role played by calf muscles in supporting cardiovascular circulation and overall health.

Seminar Focus

The presentation delved into:

  • Calf muscle function as a secondary circulatory pump

  • Venous return mechanisms and muscular contribution

  • Cardiovascular health implications of lower extremity strength

  • Circulatory support systems beyond the primary heart

  • Practical applications for nursing and patient care

Physiological Insights

The seminar provided valuable understanding of:

  • How calf muscles facilitate blood return to the heart

  • The muscle-pump mechanism in venous circulation

  • Relationship between lower extremity strength and cardiovascular efficiency

  • Clinical importance of muscular health in circulatory function

Professional Relevance

This knowledge has significant implications for:

  • Nursing assessments of circulatory health

  • Patient education on exercise and circulation

  • Rehabilitation techniques for cardiovascular patients

  • Preventive health strategies involving muscular activity
