Hi Jennifer,
Your heart is not just a muscle, it's also a sensory organ, meaning it has an electrical component. Your heart pumps blood to over 100,000 miles of arteries, veins, and capilaries every day. With your Mom's heart problems to the point of open heart surgery, and your diabetes and high cholesterol, you would be wise to start educating yourself on how to reverse these conditions.
