      • The cardiac cycle is the sequence of events that occurs when the heart beats. As the heart beats, it circulates blood through pulmonary and systemic circuits of the body. There are two phases of the cardiac cycle: The diastole phase and the systole phase. In the diastole phase, heart ventricles relax and the heart fills with blood.

  1. Feb 12, 2017 · The cardiac cycle is the series of contractions in the heart that pressurize different chambers, causing blood to flood in one direction. There are two stages during the cardiac cycle. During diastole, the ventricles relax and fill with blood.

  2. Oct 30, 2023 · The cardiac cycle is defined as a sequence of alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles in order to pump blood throughout the body. It starts at the beginning of one heartbeat and ends at the beginning of another.

  3. Oct 3, 2022 · The cardiac cycle is a series of pressure changes within the heart. These pressure changes result in blood movement through different chambers of the heart and the body as a whole. These pressure changes originate as conductive electrochemical changes within the myocardium that result in the concentric contraction of cardiac muscle.

  4. The cardiac cycle comprises a complete relaxation and contraction of both the atria and ventricles, and lasts approximately 0.8 seconds. Beginning with all chambers in diastole, blood flows passively from the veins into the atria and past the atrioventricular valves into the ventricles.

  5. The period from the start of one heartbeat to the start of the next, including both systole and diastole phases is known as the cardiac cycle. The contraction phase of the heart, during which blood is pumped into circulation is called systole. The relaxation phase of the heart, during which the chambers fill with blood is called diastole.

  7. Jul 16, 2023 · The cardiac cycle can be divided into four stages: Filling phase – the ventricles fill during diastole and atrial systole. Isovolumetric contraction – the ventricles contract, but as the heart valves are shut, the volume remains constant.
