Carla Valentine Instagram – 🫀 It’s February 1st which means it’s Valentine’s Month, and time to take a closer look at hearts (and related topics). I will be making videos during the working week, but while I’m at home I thought I’d post this. The image was used on the cover of ‘Leathers’ by @deftones, a single from the album ‘Koi No Yokan’.

It’s an arteriogram of a heart. The arteries are filled with an iodine contrast medium so that they show up on an X-ray. These examinations are usually performed to evaluate various vascular conditions, such as aneurysms (a bulging, weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel which can sometimes rupture with fatal consequences), stenosis (narrowing of a blood vessel), or blockages. Another name for this procedure is an angiogram. This looks like a healthy heart, however, which was just used for illustration purposes. The outline of the heart is seen. Both left and right coronary arteries are visible here, branching to supply blood to the heart muscle. These arteries follow the rounded shape of the heart so you can see it perfectly.
🫀
“Open your chest
Look down, reach in
Shedding your skin, showing your texture
Time to let everything inside show”
