On the left, a silhouette of a human body jogs while an electrical heart activity signal extends from its heart. On the right, an anatomical structure of the interior of the heart shows the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, pulmonary artery, aorta, bundle of His, and left and right bundle branches. Arrows show the path of blood flow between the heart chambers.
