Complete cardiac diastole is the period of time when the heart relaxes after contraction in preparation for refilling with circulating blood. Both the ventricles and the atria are relaxing.

What is the relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle?

The relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle is called diastole. During diastole, the heart chambers (atria and ventricles) relax, allowing them to fill with blood. This is followed by the contracting phase called systole.

During what phase of cardiac cycle are all four chambers in diastole?

Once the ventricles contraction phase is over, the diastole starts. Then all the four chambers are in diastole, till the atria start to contract.
