  1. Feb 12, 2017 · Definition. 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. The muscles contract during systole, pushing blood through the arteries.

  2. Oct 30, 2023 · Cardiac cycle phases. The events of the cardiac cycle, start with a spontaneous action potential in the sinus node as we described previously. This stimulus causes a series of events in the atria and the ventricles. All these events are “organized” in two phases: diastole (when the heart fills with blood) and systole (when the heart pumps ...

  3. Cardiac diastole is the period of the cardiac cycle when, after contraction, the heart relaxes and expands while refilling with blood returning from the circulatory system. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Both atrioventricular (AV) valves open to facilitate the 'unpressurized' flow of blood directly through the atria into both ventricles, where it is collected for the next contraction.

  4. The period of time that begins with contraction of the atria and ends with ventricular relaxation is known as the cardiac cycle (Figure 19.3.1).The period of contraction that the heart undergoes while it pumps blood into circulation is called systole.

  7. When this occurs, blood flows from the atria into the ventricles, pushing open the tricuspid and mitral valves When these valves open, the cardiac cycle is complete and the next cycle begins with the filling phase. Figure 50.1 – In this illustration, the x-axis reflects time with a recording of the heart sounds. The y-axis represents pressure.
