      • The period of time that begins with contraction of the atria and ends with ventricular relaxation is known as the cardiac cycle (Figure 19.3.1). The period of contraction that the heart undergoes while it pumps blood into circulation is called systole. The period of relaxation that occurs as the chambers fill with blood is called diastole.

  2. Oct 30, 2023 · Each cardiac cycle has a diastolic phase (also called diastole) where the heart chamber is in a state of relaxation and fills with blood that receives from the veins and a systolic phase (also called systole) where the heart chambers are contracting and pumps the blood towards the periphery via the arteries.

  3. Figure 19.3.2 – Relationship between the Cardiac Cycle and ECG: Initially, both the atria and ventricles are relaxed (diastole). The P wave represents depolarization of the atria and is followed by atrial contraction (systole).

    The heart is the pump of the body’s circulatory system. It must work in a systematic way so that the body is adequately supplied with blood. This article will give an overview of the cardiac cycle, highlighting the physiology and clinical relevance.

    Blood flows through the structures of the heart in the following order: 1. Great veins (the venae cavae on the right and the pulmonary vein on the left) 2. Atria 3. Ventricles 4. Great arteries (the pulmonary artery on the right and the aorta on the left) There are two sets of valves, theatrioventricular and thesemilunar valves, on each side of the...

    The heart relies on its muscle to contract and relax to pump the blood around the body. The left and right sides of the heart areindependent of each other, however, will contract synchronously. When in a contractile state, this is called systole. When in a relaxed state, this is called diastole. The cycle can then be divided into three stages: 1. A...

    Wigger’s diagram is used to demonstrate thevarying pressures in the atrium, ventricle, and artery during one cardiac cycle (Figure 2). Intracardiac pressures are different within the right and left sides of the heart. The left side hashigher pressure, as it has to pump blood through the whole body, compared to the right side, which has to pump bloo...

    There are two cardiac volumes to be measured during the cardiac cycle. 1. Ventricular end-systolic volume= the volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of the systolic phase 2. Ventricular end-diastolic volume= the volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of the diastolic phase These volumes can then be used to calculate other parameters whic...

    The cardiac cycle can be divided into systolic (contraction) and diastolic(relaxation) phases.
    The cycle goes in the following order: atrial systole, ventricular systole and diastole.
    Heart valves open when the pressure of the chamber lying before it is higherthan that of the chamber after the valve.
    The shutting of the valves produces the two heart sounds(S1/S2), also known as the ‘lub-dub’ heart sounds.

  4. Jul 16, 2023 · The cardiac cycle can be divided into four stages: Filling phase – the ventricles fill during diastole and atrial systole. Isovolumetric contraction – the ventricles contract, but as the heart valves are shut, the volume remains constant.

  6. The period of contraction that the heart undergoes while it pumps blood into circulation is called systole. The period of relaxation that occurs as the chambers fill with blood is called diastole.

  7. Oct 3, 2022 · Cardiac cycle events can be divided into diastole and systole. Diastole represents ventricular filling, and systole represents ventricular contraction/ejection. Systole and diastole occur in both the right and left heart, though with very different pressures (see hemodynamics below).
