CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
CARDIAC CYCLELECTURE – 3
DR. ZAHOOR ALI SHAIKH
3
CARDIAC CYCLE Cardiac events occurring during one
beat (systole & diastole) are repeated during the next beat
Cardiac cycle time : 0.8 second when heart rate is 75 beats per minute.
4
CARDIAC CYCLE Atria and Ventricle go through separate
cycles of systole and diastole.
When we use the term Systole and Diastole, we refer to ventricles, until unless specified for atria.
5
We will discuss mechanical & electrical changes during Cardiac CycleMechanical changes:1. Phases of cardiac cycle2. Pressure changes during cardiac cycle3. Volume changes during cardiac cycle4. Heart soundsElectrical Changes5. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
6
ECGECG ( Electrocardiogram) – These electrical events can be
recorded by putting electrodes on the surface of bodyP wave – Atrial depolarizationQRS - Ventricular DepolarizationT wave – Ventricular Repolarization
We will discuss ECG in detail in coming lectures.

12
Ventricular eventsVentricular systole1. Isovolumetric Contraction When blood has come from Atria into
the ventricle, ventricle will start contracting, when pressure increases in ventricle than atria, AV valves close.
This phase of ventricular contraction when all valves are closed is called ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION.
13
Ventricular systole During Isovolumetric Contraction,
volume remains same, but pressure in the ventricle must continue to increase till it exceeds aortic pressure.
14
Ventricular systole2. Ejection Phase When ventricular pressure increases,
semi-lunar valve [aortic and pulmonary valves] will open and blood will flow into aorta and pulmonary artery. This is Ejection Phase [pumping of blood out].
Ejection is rapid first and then slow.
15
Protodiastolic phase Once ventricle muscle is fully
contracted, than it will relax and ventricular pressure will drop rapidly.
When ventricles are relaxing, but aortic and pulmonary valves have not closed yet, this period is called Protodiastole.
It lasts for 0.04 sec. It ends when aortic and pulmonary valve
close.
16
Ventricular Diastole1. Isovolumetric Relaxation During diastole, When ventricular
pressure falls below the Aortic pressure, aortic valve closes, and AV valves are not open yet , ventricle is close cavity with all valves closed. This phase is called Isovolumetric Relaxation (means volume remains same but pressure is decreasing).
17
Ventricular Diastole2. Filling phase When ventricular pressure falls below the atrial pressure, AV
valve open and blood moves rapidly from the atria into the ventricles – first rapid filling phase [causes 3rd heart sound].
Then blood comes slowly – slow filling phase. Then atria contract for 0.1sec and blood comes fast into the
ventricle – last rapid filling phase [causes 4th heart sound].
NOTE Last rapid filling phase is due to atrial systole and contributes
to 20-30% of ventricular filling.
After atrial systole, cardiac cycle will re-start.

20
Tachycardia, Effect on Cardiac Cycle During Tachycardia, when heart rate is
increased, both systole and diastole time decreases.
Diastole length (time) is shortened much more than systole length. Therefore it
reduces the time for ventricular relaxation and filling.

2. PRESSURE CHANGES DURING CARDIAC CYCLE
23
Pressure changes during cardiac cycle
Rt- Atrium = 0-7mm Hg.
Lt- Atrium = 2-10 mm Hg.
Rt – Ventricle = 25 / 6(2-8) mm Hg.
Lt – ventricle = 120 / 8(2-10) mm Hg.
Aorta = 120 / 80 mm Hg.
Pul. Artery = 25 / 10 mm Hg.

3. VOLUME CHANGES DURING CARDIAC CYCLE
28
Define Stroke Volume (SV)
Define End Diastolic Volume (EDV)
Define End Systolic Volume (ESV)
Define Ejection Fraction (EF)
29
Stroke Volume: It is a volume of blood pumped out
by each ventricle per beat. It is about 70 - 80 ml.Stroke volume (SV) = EDV – ESV
End Diastolic Volume: Volume of blood in each
ventricle at the end of diastole.
It is about 120 – 130 ml.
End Systolic Volume: Volume of blood in each
ventricle at the end of Systole. It is about 50 to 60 ml

32
Ejection fraction (EF) is the percentage of ventricular end diastolic volume (EDV) which is ejected with each stroke.
EF = SV (EDV – ESV)
EDVX 100

120X 100 = 62.5%
Normal ejection fraction is about 60 – 65 %.
Ejection fraction is good index of ventricular function.
