May 7, 2022 · Ventricular pressure increases as the ventricles contract. Both the mitral and aortic valves are shut so the volume of the ventricle stays the same whilst the ventricle contracts, therefore this stage is called an isovolumetric contraction.
Oct 30, 2023 · The sudden change in the pressure gradient results in a small backflow of blood into the left ventricle just before the aortic valves close. This is represented on the aortic pressure graph by a sharp decline or ‘ incisura ’ and then a sharp increase.

When pressure within the ventricles drops below pressure in both the pulmonary trunk and aorta, blood flows back toward the heart, producing the dicrotic notch (small dip) seen in blood pressure tracings. The semilunar valves close to prevent backflow into the heart.

As the atrial muscles contract from the superior portion of the atria toward the atrioventricular septum, pressure rises within the atria and blood is pumped into the ventricles through the open atrioventricular (tricuspid, and mitral or bicuspid) valves.
The two SL valves – the pulmonary and aortic valves – are closed, preventing backflow of blood into the right and left ventricles from the pulmonary trunk on the right and the aorta on the left. During filling ventricular pressure increases, while atrial pressure decreases.
Jul 16, 2023 · Outflow phase – the ventricles continue to contract as the valves open, pushing blood into the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. This is also known as systole. Isovolumetric relaxation – the ventricles relax, ready to re-fill with blood in the next filling phase.

It starts in the lower-left chamber of your heart (ventricle). From there, it extends up toward your head a short distance before curving down. The aorta passes through your chest and abdominal cavities and ends at your pelvis.
