When you hold your breath, CO2 levels will increase in your body, which, simply put, makes your body oxygen-starved. This, then, will trigger a reaction that will attempt to get as much oxygen throughout the body as possible, and this is done by increasing the heart rate.

What is the length of the cardiac cycle if the heart rate is 80 beats per minute?

To find your answer, your first step is to divide the time (in this case a minute...a minute equals sixty (60) seconds) by the heart rate (e.g. 80 beats). So---60 divided by 80 will give you 0.75 seconds. Your answer will justify the time/length of the cardiac cycle.
