heart class

Description

heart is an S4 class that serves as an object that holds together different components that represent the anatomical heart. A heart object allows for storing clinical information about a patient together, which may more readily allow for analytical approaches to be developed. The heart has plumbing (the coronary arteries), electricity (the nerves), and walls (cardiac chambers). The slots represent these objects.

Slots

pipes

the epicardial and resistance vessels
