What is cardiac cycle explain with diagram?
The cardiac cycle is the performance of the human heart, beginning from one
heartbeat to the beginning of the next. It consists of two phases:-
1) Diastolic phase,
2) Systolic phase.
In the diastolic phase, the heart ventricles are relaxed and the heart fills with blood.
The cardiac cycle has 3 stages:
Atrial and Ventricular diastole (chambers are relaxed and filling with blood)
Atrial systole (atria contract and remaining blood is pushed into ventricles)
Ventricular systole (ventricles contract and push blood out through aorta and
pulmonary artery)
What starts the cardiac cycle?
The cardiac cycle begins with atrial systole, the sequential activation and
contraction of the 2 thin-walled upper chambers. Atrial systole is followed by the
delayed contraction of the more powerful lower chambers, termed ventricular
systole.
What is 12th cardiac cycle?
The sequential events in the heart which are repeated cyclically is called cardiac
cycle and it consists of systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation) of both the atria
and ventricles. The duration of a cardiac cycle is 0.8 seconds.
What QRS means?
A combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave, the “QRS complex”
represents ventricular depolarization.
What is the normal cardiac cycle?
Chapter Review. The cardiac cycle comprises a complete relaxation and contraction
of both the atria and ventricles, and lasts approximately 0.8 seconds.

What valves make the heart sounds?
Normally, the heart beat has two sounds – lub-dub. The first sound is heard as the mitral and
tricuspid valves close.
The second heart sound is the aortic and pulmonic valves snapping shut.
Which part is known as pacemaker?
The sinoatrial (SA) node or sinus node is the heart's natural pacemaker. It's a
small mass of specialized cells in the top of the right atrium (upper chamber of the
heart). It produces the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat. ... These are
called demand pacemakers.3
How do you calculate cardiac cycle duration?
1. Duration of each cardiac cycle.
2. At a Normal mean heart rate of → 72 beats/minute.
3. Is → 60 seconds / 72 beats = 0.8 sec.
What is Pqrst wave?
The sinoatrial node (SA) is the pacemaker of the heart and produces the P wave.
The QRS wave is produced by the atrioventricular node (AV). The P wave in an ECG
complex indicates atrial depolarization. The QRS is responsible for ventricular
depolarization and the T wave is ventricular repolarization.
What is the longest stage of cardiac cycle?
The longest phase of cardiac cycle is Atrial diastole. Explanation: The longest part
of the cardiac cycle is arterial diastole, which is divided into 0.1 seconds for auricular
systole, 0.3 seconds for ventricular systole, and 0.4 seconds for joint diastole.
here are three basic kinds of pacemakers:
Single chamber. One lead attaches to the upper or lower heart chamber.
Dual-chamber. Uses two leads, one for the upper and one for the lower chamber.
Biventricular pacemakers (used in cardiac resynchronization therapy).
There are 3 main types of ECG:
a resting ECG – carried out while you're lying down in a comfortable position.
a stress or exercise ECG – carried out while you're using an exercise bike or treadmill.
