Eventually it will result in a myocardial infarction (result of removing the oxygen) Heart murmer: leaky valve causing trouble generating pressure to push blood out ribcage protects many structures (the lungs and heart: heart lies right between the lungs. Major vessels that supply heart w/ blood & vessels that leave heart lie on its surface: vessels aren"t symmetrical although vessels usually are, & have branching agents. Posterior to heart is esophagus, trachea (leading to lungs), & vessels that move to & from heart. Heart is very anterior (just behind the sternum: behind those lie the body of thoracic vertebrae.
