separated by a valve‚ which prevents the backflow of blood. Blood enters the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava carrying deoxygenated blood. The vena cava then empties into the right atrium. When the right ventricle is relaxed‚ blood flows from the atrium into the right ventricle. The blood is then pushed through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery where it carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The blood then flows back into the heart from the lungs

The first theory is that blood donors must be considered “healthy” before they roll up their sleeve‚ so they are less likely to suffer heart disease because they are already in good health and probably have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels that non-blood donors
