What is atrial diastole?
Atrial refers to the top portion of the heart and diastole is when the heart is at rest. Atrial diastole would be when the top portion of the heart is not beating.
What is the time length for atrial diastole?
.7 seconds
What is the period when the atria are depolarizing?
atrial diastole
What is your heart doing when it is in systole?
Diastole is when a given chamber of the heart is relaxing. There is atrial diastole and ventricular diastole. Most of the time when talking about diastole we are referring to the ventricular because that is when we measure the diastolic (low) pressure in your systemic arteries, usually the brachial artery.
When is atrial and ventricle at rest together?
At diastole the muscles of the atria and ventricles relax and blood flows into the heart. Therefore the atria and ventricles and at rest together during diastole.
Is systolic pressure where the ventricls are relaxing?
Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole
Does the p wave in an ekg indicate atrial depolarization?
No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).
What is a complete cycle of a heart contraction and relaxation called?
Cardiac cycle, which is made up of atrial and ventricular systole and diastole.
How is pulse related to systole and diastole?
Systole is when a chamber of the heart (i.e. atrial vs. ventricular systole) is contracting. Diastole is when a chamber of the heart is relaxing. Without qualifying which chamber it is usually assumed to mean the left ventricle.Systole refers to when the heart is contracted and diastole refers to when the heart is relaxed.
What controls the heart rate at rest?
The third apsect of the cardiac cycle is the rest period, however it is not separate from the sytole and diastole. It is merely the time frame during a cycle when both the artia and ventricles are in disastole at the same time. It thus can be said that the period of rest overlaps atrial and ventricular diastole.
What is the term that defines the relaxation phase of the heartbeat?
diastole
What happens to the volume of blood in the ventricle during the period of isovolumetric contraction?
Both ventricular contraction and atrial diastole take place.
