Description of Heart Cycle

• A is the end-diastolic point; this is the point where contraction begins.

• Pressure starts to increase, becomes rapidly higher than the atrial pressure, and the mitral valve closes.

• Since pressure is also lower than the aortic pressure, the aortic valve is closed as well.

• Segment AB is the contraction phase.

• Since both the mitral and aortic valves are closed, volume is constant.

• For this reason, this phase is called isovolumic contraction.

• At point B, pressure becomes higher than the aortic pressure and the aortic valve opens, initiating ejection.

• BC is the ejection phase, volume decreases.

• At the end of this phase, pressure lowers again and falls below aortic pressure.

• The aortic valve closes.

• Point C is the end-systolic point.

• Segment CD is the isovolumic relaxation.

• During this phase, pressure continues to fall.

• The mitral valve and aortic valve are both closed again so volume is constant.

• At point D pressure falls below the atrial pressure and the mitral valve opens, initiating ventricular filling.

• DA is the diastolic filling period.

• Blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

• Atrial contraction completes ventricular filling.
