Term
[image]
Definition
A. Systole
B. Diastole

Contrary to the flascard, diastole is much longer than systole.
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
A
Definition
Systole: Ventricular depolarization and repolarization
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
B
Definition
Diastole: Atrial depolarization and repolarization
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
C
Definition
A wave: The end of diastole, beginning of systole, this wave is created by atrial contraction. The AV valves close due to higher pressures in the ventricles versus the atria.
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
D
Definition
X wave: Early atrial relaxation
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
E
Definition
C wave: A sudden increase in pressure in the atria during atrial relaxation is caused by an upward shift in the annulus during ventricular contraction
Term
[image] Name the phase or waveform and what is happening. F
Definition
X':Continuation of atrial relaxation
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
G
Definition
IVRT: The end of systole, the beginning of diastole. A quick increase in atrial pressure due to continuous filling.
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
H
Definition
V wave: Peak volume in atria is achieved and the presure gradient is higher in the atria than the ventricles causing the AV valves to open.
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
I
Definition
Y wave: A quick decrease in atrial pressure do to rapid passive filling to the ventricles.
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
J
Definition
Diastasus: During this phase, there is an equalization of pressures between the atria and ventricles.
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
A
Definition
A rise in pressure just prior to systole due to increased volume from atrial contraction
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
B
Definition
IVCT: End diastole, beginning of systole; build-up of ventricular pressure, wall tension and stress
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
C
Definition
SL valves open: maximum ejection
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
D
Definition
Peak maximum ejection
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
E
Definition
minimum ejection: SL valves close
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
F
Definition
IVRT: End of systole, beginning of diastole; decrease of pressure
Term
[image]
Name the phase or waveform and what is happening.
G
Definition
Rapid passive filling; slow increase of pressure
Term
What are the 4 stages of Diastole?
Definition
1. IVRT: Isovolumic relaxation time
