By the end of this session you will be able to:
• Define the cardiac cycle, systole and diastole
• Explain how blood flows through the heart
• List the seven phases of the cardiac cycle
• Describe the changes in the cardiac cycle with respect to the left ventricular pressure, aortic pressure and ventricular volume
• Identify when the heart sounds occur in the cardiac cycle
• Identify the parts of a ventricular pressure-volume loop |
