cardiac cycle Flashcards
What is another name for atrial contraction?
diastolic late phase filling (aka kick)
what is the electrical event for atrial contraction?
firing of the SA node (p wave)
what is the mechanical event for atrial contraction?
contraction of the atria
what is the anatomically event for atrial contraction?
A-V valves open and semi-lunar (pulmonic and aortic) valves are closed
what does iso mean
no movement
What is the electrical event for systolic isovolumetric contraction
peak of R wave
what is the mechanical event for systolic isovolumetric contraction
ventricles contract and the atria are relaxed
What is the anatomically event for systolic isovolumetric contraction
all valves are closed
what is the amount of blood in left vent at end of diastole called?
EDV (end diastolic volume)
what is the electrical event for the systolic rapid ejection
none
what is the mechanical event for systolic rapid ejection
ventricular pressure exceeds atrial pressure. Rapid ejection of blood into arteries occurs
what is the anatomically event for systolic rapid ejection
semi-lunar valves open
what is the electrical event for reduced ejection phase
T wave on the ECG
what is the mechanical event for reduced ejection phase
Ventricle volume decreases and the vent pressure plateaus and decreases
what is the anatomically event reduced ejection phase
atrial pressure continues to rise during ejection period because of continued flow of blood into the atria.
