The first phase of the cardiac cycle is atrial systole.


AV Valves open, Semilunar Valves closed


Pressure from atria contraction pushes blood in AV valves and into ventricles


Creates EDV

f

Isovolumetric Contraction


All Valves are closed


AV valve closing makes first heart sound


As a result of systolic contraction, ventricular pressure increases

Rapid ejection phase


B/c of ventricular systolic pressure rose in phase 2 SL valves open blood ejected into aorta and pulmonary arteries

Reduced ejection


SL valve stays open AV valves stay closed


Ventricles finish systole.


Ejection from phases 3 & 4 is approx. 2/3 of the blood volume in the ventricles which is referred to as stroke volume.

Isovolumetric Relaxation Stage


SL Valves close


Makes second heart sound


Pressure in the arteries exceeds pressure in the ventricles.


1/3 of blood left in the ventricles which gives you the end-systolic volume

Rapid ventricular Filling


AV valves open b/c of pressure of venous blood


Both atrias and ventricles fill with blood

Reduced filling


AV valves stay open


Ventricles slowly continue to fill and the cardiac cycle is ready to start again

Sino-atrial node


SA node


Primary Pacemaker



Internodal tracts & Bachmann's bundle



Atrio-ventricular Node


Secondary pacemaker

AV node delay


Ensures atria have ejected all blood into ventricles before ventrical contraction

AV bundles

Right and left bundle branches

Purkinje fibers which are the tertiary pacemaker

ECG= Electrocardiogram


Measures sum of multiplle action potentials in many cardiac myofibers

P Wave


Atrial depolarization


Aligns with phase 1

QRS complex


Ventricular depolarization


Phase 2

T wave


Ventricular Repolarization


Phase 4

P-R Interval


Atrial Depolarization, systole, and onset of ventricular depolarization

S-T segment


Ventricles depolarized & systole occurs

Q-T interval represents ventricular depolarization & Repolarization
