What is The Cardiac Cycle ?

The cardiac cycle refers to the sequence of events that occur and repeat with each heartbeat. It can be divided into two main stages: Systole and diastole, each of which is divided into several small steps When systole and diastole are not specified otherwise refers to ventricular contraction and relaxation Respectively, Reminder Blood flows from low to low pressure Compression increases the pressure in a Chamber, while relaxation reduces the pressure.
When the AVT valves open the anterior pressures are higher than the ventricular pressures and Off when the pressure gradient is reversed.
Similarly, Semiluna valves open when ventricular pressure exceeds submerged /, pulmonary pressure And stop. If the opposite is true, The cycle was started by firing shots at the SA node, which encouraged the atria to lower .

It is represented by p-waves in the ECG Shortly after the onset of the P-wave atrial contraction begins and increases the pressure in the area Forcing blood into the ventricles. In the case of atrial contraction, ventricular filling is only for FRACTION. This is because the ventricles are already almost full due to the inactive blood flow down at the moment, Ventricles through open AV valves.

cardiac cycle
Atrial contraction causes the pressure in the atria to decrease. Reversing the pressure gradient across the AV valves, causing them to close. The termination of the AV valve makes the first sound of the heart S1 And marks the beginning of the systole At the moment.
Ventricular degeneration Halfway through the representation by the QRS complex and the ventricles begin to contract, Creating pressure inside the ventricle for a moment for rapid semilunar, The valves remain closed and the ventricles contract between the closed spaces.
This stage is referred to as isovolumetric contraction. This is because no blood comes out and the ventricular volume remains unchanged. Ventricular ejection begins when the ventricular pressure exceeds the pressure between the joint and the pulmonary. The arteries and pulmonary valves remain open and blood flows out of the ventricles.
This is as fast as the ejection episode, Ventricular repolariization T begins to be reflected by the wave. Ventricular pressure begins to fall and the energy of ejection decreases When ventricular pressure drops below cosmic and pulmonary pressure.
The semilunar valve closes Marks the end of the systole and the beginning of the diastole Semilunar valve closure produces a second heart, sound S2, The first part of diastole again Isovolumetric, because the ventricles relax by closing all the valves.
Ventricular pressure decreases rapidly, but their volume remains unchanged. Meanwhile, the atria are filling with blood, and the pressure of the atria is slowly increasing. Ventricular filling begins when the ventricular pressure drops below the atrial pressure due to the opening of the AV valve
Inactively allows blood to flow from the ventricles, The atria contract and repeat the cycle to end the filling episode.

A-FIB VERSUS JUNCTIONAL RHYTHMS

. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: On your rhythm strip, the two most important characteristics are: . 1) A rhythm that’s IRREGULARLY irregular (meaning there’s no way to predict the next beat) 2) No discernible P waves . In fact, if you notice an irregularly irregular rhythm and you’re having to convince yourself that you see P waves... it’s probably A-fib (multifocal atrial arrhythmias like WAP/MAT could fit the differential) . *In my opinion: Don’t get caught up in using fibrillation waves as an absolute criteria. Very fine A-fib can sometimes produce a near isoelectric line between beats. . JUNCTIONAL RHYTHMS: The pacemaker cells surrounding the AV junction are capable of initiating regular impulses but at a slightly slower natural rate than their sinus and atrial superiors. The heart is built this way so that when the pacemaker cells with the fastest intrinsic rates are in action, those below are suppressed and function primarily to pass along the impulse from above. . For these reasons, we s

The Pathway of Blood

Here’s a great illustration on the pathway of blood flow through the heart. It may seem easy...but you should know this cold as well as the cardiac anatomy, both of which will make procedures and understanding hemodynamics easier. . . . đŸ’™VENOUS BLOOD- Blood flows into the heart (into the right atrium) through two major veins (the superior and inferior vena cava) as well as from the coronary sinus (cardiac venous blood from the coronaries) and then out through the first AV valve (tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. From there blood flows into the right ventricular outflow tract, across the first semilunar valve (pulmonic valve) and into the main and then left and right pulmonary arteries. Blood then enters the lungs to become oxygenated. . . . ❤️ARTERIAL BLOOD- now that blood is oxygenated flow goes from the lungs into the left atrium through 4 veins (usually) called the pulmonary veins. From the left atrium blood flows across the other AV valve (mitral valve) and into the left

How to Stop Ectopic Beats

What is Ectopic Beats? According to Dr. Boon Lim - Ectopic beats are also known as Ectopic Heart Rhythm or cardiac ectopy. It is produced when the heart creates a premature beat, usually followed by a brief pause. Types of Ectopic Beats: 1. Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) 2. Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC) Causes Of Ectopic Beats There are different causes of Ectopic Beats. Some of these are  Excessive alcohol consumption Excessive caffine consumptionPrescription drugs Stress (which produces high adrenaline levels) Exercise Diarrhoea and vomitting, which may disturb electrolyte levels (typically low potassium levels) Heart muscle damage from a heart attack Heart enlargement (cardiomyopathy) Valvular heart disease, such as a floppy mitral valve (mitral valve prolapse) Symptoms of Ectopic Beats Following Can Be The Symptom of Ectopic Beats: your heart is fluttering you are hyper aware of your heartbeat you feel faint or dizz
