What cardiac event is responsible for the S2 heart sound?
Aortic valve closing
Isovolumetric relaxation:
LV pressure
Decreases

What does the dicrotic notch seen on the arterial pressure waveform signify?
Closure of the aortic valve causes some retrograde flow from the aorta towards the aortic valve
What is lusitropy?
Myocardial relaxation
Does lusitropy require energy?
Yes; ATP is required to pump Ca++ back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
