Heart (cardiac Cycle) Flashcards
cardiac Cycle (6)
- Atrial Systole
- Early Ventricular systole
- Late ventricular systole
- Early Ventricular Diastole
- Atrial Diastole
- Late Ventricular Diastole
Corresponds with contraction of the atria
Atrial pressure: greater than ventricle
AV valves: open
Ventricles: blood volume increasing, eventually reaching the maximum they can hold (end diastolic volume, or EDV)
Atrial Systole
Corresponds with contraction of the ventricles
Ventricular pressure: greater than atria, less than great vessels
Blood volume: constant at EDV
AV valves: closed
SL valves: closed
Early Ventricular Systole
Ventricular pressure: greater than atria, greater than great vessels
Blood volume: decreasing as stroke volume (SV) is ejected, until residual end systolic volume (ESV) is left
AV valves: closed
SL valves: open
Late Ventricular Systole
Corresponds to relaxation in ventricles
Ventricular pressure: greater than atria, less than great vessels
Blood volume: constant at ESV
AV valves: closed
SL valves: closed
Early Ventricular Diastole
Atrial pressure: less than ventricles
Ventricular blood volume: decreasing
AV valves: open
Atrial Diastole
Ventricular pressure: less than atria, less than great vessels
Ventricular blood volume: increasing through passive filing
AV valves: open
SL valves: closed
Late Ventricular Diastole

cardiac output
= difference between cardiac output at rest and during exercise
cardiac reserve
= STROKE VOLUME (SV) x HEART RATE (HR)
