dc.description.abstractStar Trek (ST) is a fictional utopian future history depicting how humanity might develop up to the 24th century. The series and movies comprise a metanarrative that encompasses 735 hours of viewing time, and thereby provides a fertile ground for analysis of various areas of critical study. In several ST episodes, the heart features prominently. This essay will review and classify these occurrences, and will demonstrate that this organ is featured for its biological properties along with a fair representation of the contemporary gamut of common diseases that afflict it. These are laced with exotic futuristic elements that define the genre.en_GB
