The algorithms of the heart

The algorithm is a calculation procedure useful to solve some types of problems. An algorithm, for example, allows you to calculate the sum of two numbers, to solve a second degree equation, to understand how DNA determines our characteristics, but also to manage an online auction on E-Bay, to schedule the flights of airlines, to find information on the web through a search engine. The algorithms, in silence and without a sensation, populate our daily life. And in silence they can, in some cases, save people’s lives.
