Yes, when the AV valves open and blood begins to enter the ventricles they are in isotonic relaxation. This is why the pressure does not increase in the ventricles during this time.

What heart valves are closed during systole?

In late diastole (relaxation phase), the semilunar (pocket) valves close, due to decreasing arterial pressure, to prevent blood flowing back into the ventricles. These stay closed during atrial systole. (But open again during ventricular systole.)Then, as the ventricles contract during ventricular systole, the bicuspid and tricuspid valves close to prevent blood from flowing back to the atria.So, it really depends on which phase of the contraction we are looking at.(Ed: format)


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.

When preforming CPR what is known as the relaxation phase of the heart?

The relaxation phase of the heart is when there is no compression pressure on the heart.


The contraction of the ventricles is referred to as systole and the period of ventricular relaxation is called?

I believe that is called diastole, in contrast to systole, the contraction of the heart muscles.

What portion of the cardiac cycle is shortened by this more rapid heart rate?

The diastolic phase is shortened by a more rapid heart rate. This is the phase when the heart muscle relaxes and fills with blood. A faster heart rate reduces the time available for the heart to refill, impacting cardiac output.


What is the lowest pressure that remains in the arterial system during ventricular relaxation?

this is called the diastolic pressure meaning when the heart is in diastole. The diastolic number is the bottom number in common blood pressure. i.e. in a pressure 120/80 the lowest measured pressure is 80mmHg during ventricular relaxation
