Why your heart never gets tired like other muscles

Original: Why doesn't your heart get tired like other muscles do? https:// tube.blueben.net/w/js2BPZp2TxQ WcFhq7UQcWq

An educational item is circulating asking why the heart does not fatigue the way skeletal muscles do. The heart is a specialised muscle built for continuous, rhythmic contraction over a lifetime, unlike muscles that tire during sustained exertion. Discussion around it is framed as popular science curiosity rather than breaking news, with little new information beyond the question itself.

Why now: People are sharing a curiosity-driven science explainer about how the heart sustains nonstop work without fatigue.
