Cardiac Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
4 phases of cardiac cycle?
A
- DIASTOLIC FILLING
- ISOVOLUMIC CONTRACTION
- EJECTION
- ISOVOLUMIC RELAXATION
2
Q
Diastolic filling
A
LAP > LVP
Bicuspid (mitral) open
aortic valve closed
LVP
3
Q
Isovolumic contraction
A
- LV contracts
- LVP increases
- LVP > LAP
- both valves closed
- pressure increasing
- no change in volume
4
Q
Ejection
A
- LVP > AP
- aortic valve opens
- blood ejected into aorta
5
Q
Isovolumic relaxation
A
- T-wave
- LVP
