Cardiac Cycle Diagram

Diastole and systole Fig.
Cardiac cycle diagram. In the diastole phase heart ventricles relax and the heart fills with blood. Diastole starts with the closing of the aortic valve the second heart sound. Consists of a P wave QRS complex and T wave.
How does the heart function. It can be divided into 2 major phases. The Wiggers diagram is used to illustrate the cardiac cycle.
During diastole the ventricles relax and fill with blood. The pressure in the right atrium increases as blood flows into it. The cardiac cycle comprises a complete relaxation and contraction of both the atria and ventricles and lasts approximately 08 seconds.
Lines up the heart sounds left ventricular volume and leftright atrial leftright ventricular and aorticpumonary pressures with an ECG across the cardiac cycle. In the Wiggers diagram the X-axis is used to plot time while the Y-axis contains all of the following on a single grid. The cardiac cycle refers to the sequence of events that occur and repeat with every heartbeat.
SYSTOLE and DIASTOLE each of which SUBdivides into several smaller phases. Atrial and Ventricular diastole chambers are relaxed and filling with blood Atrial systole atria contract and remaining blood is pushed into ventricles. One cardiac cycle is completed when the heart chambers fill with blood and blood is pumped out.
The phase of contraction called systole and the phase of relaxation called diastole. This step-by-step diagram provides easy notes and explanations of the cardiac cycle blood flow through the heart in order and the atrial and ventricular anatomy of the heart. It is depicted see circular diagram as the ventricular systolefirst phase followed by the ventricular systolesecond phase.
