The multicellular organismal process by which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. Heart contraction is the process by which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the circulatory system. The circulatory system is an organ system that moves extracellular fluids to and from tissue within a multicellular organism. Muscle contraction of cardiac muscle tissue. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. A circulatory system process carried out by the heart. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
