coronary circulation
blood flows into the heart muscle by____?
the right and left coronary arteries

coronary angioplasty
each complete heart beat called__?
cardiac cycle
cardiac cycle includes?
systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation) of atria and ventricles
each complete cycle takes about__?
0.8 seconds if 72 beat/min
