What does an extra systole correspond to?
nothing
What is the significance of an extra-systole?
Often an extra-systole [pronounced sis-tol-ee] has no significance. If you have more than 8-10 per minute then a visit to a doctor for a heart tracing would be advised.
Is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest during atrial systole or ventricular systole?
ventricular systole
What is the contractive phase of heartbeat?
systole
Period of heart contraction?
Contraction of the ventricles and atria is called systole. Relaxation is called diastole.
What is the time taken by atrial systole and ventricular systole?
0.4sec
During which portion of the cardiac cycle is it possible to induce extra systole?
Extrasystole is an extra ventricular systole that happens during the begging of relaxation (repolarization). Since the cardiac is able to depolarize only after repolarization, any stimulus upon the repolarization period created an increased ventricular contraction or which is also called extrasystole but not a new contraction.
What is a contraction phase of the heartbeat?
The cardiac cycle of the heart has two phases - the diastole phase and systole phase. In the systole phase, the ventricles contract and pump blood into the arteries.
What causes compensatory pause following an extra systole?
repolariztion of the cardiac cells. ie after they have depolarized so quickly it takes a while for them to get back to a normal state
Who comes first atrial systole or ventricle systole?
Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.
What does the term systole mean?
Systole is the period of heart contraction within the cardiac cycle.
