Chest pump flesh
Heart muscle is the specialized tissue that forms the walls of the heart, enabling it to contract rhythmically and pump blood.
Unlike skeletal muscle, heart muscle works involuntarily and never fatigues during a normal lifespan.
The technical term is cardiac muscle or myocardium: The heart attack damaged his heart muscle.
