Definition
- closes
- greater
- isovolumetric relaxation
- closed
Term
Left atrial pressure is going up during diastole b/c its filling from the pulmonary system, we have passive filling. The little brown inflection is where the atria contracts and p wave occurs so atria pressure increases during the contraction, atrial kick. So left ventricular volume is going up and then goes up more in conjuction with atrial kikc. Kick usually puts in an extra 5-10%. (A fib patients do not have an atrial kick!! KNOW THIS). Nothing yet for heart sounds. Left ventricular pressure is going up and mitral valve is open so flowing from left atria to left ventricle. Mitral valve is open during part of diastole. QRS and ventricles start to contract and the mitral valve closes. During this time the ventriclular volume is not going up, but the pressure is going up (no more volume b/c mitral valve is closed)= isovolumetric phase of contraction-both aortic and mitral valves are closed. The first heart sound is the closure of the mitral valve (sound delivered more slowly than the electrical impulse so slight delay). So during isovolumetric contraction we are developing pressure in the left ventricle> suddenly the left ventricular end diastolic volume drops a lot b/c the aortic valve is open. The aortic vlalve opens when the intraventricular pressure is just greater than the aortic pressure or afterload. So when left ventricular pressure is just greater than the afterload> aortic valve opens. If increase afterload or arterial pressure, the aortic vavle will open later. If reduce pressure it opens sooner (vasodilator). As long as left vent pressure is greater than arterial pressure, aortic vavle is open. But then at end of contraction> aortic valve closes b/c the aoritc pressure is greater than the left ventricular pressure. Now we are in isovolumetric relaxation- no changes occuring in ventricular volume- both valves are closed during this period. The second heard sound (dub) is the aortic valve closing. Now we restart filling, filling occurs during the first half of diastole. Then aortic pressure comes down in aortic pressure and ventricular volume increases. Volume ventricular increase is caused by the lungs b/c when mitral vavle opens, it just comes rushing in. This is the phase you would hear a gallop. Then get atrial kick and see p wave. And that’s the cardiac cycle.
