_____ is the phase of the cardiac cycle representing the period between aortic valve closing and mitral valve opening

Increased right atrial pressure, due to filling against a closed tricuspid valve, appears as the _____ wave on the venous pulse curve

During right ventricular contraction, the tricuspid valve bulges into the right atrium, which appears as the _____ wave on the venous pulse curve

The heart sound _____ may be audible during isovolumetric contraction

During rapid ventricular ejection, the ventricular pressure becomes greater than aortic pressure and the _____ valve opens

The abnormal heart sound _____ may be audible during rapid ventricular filling (early diastole)

_____ is the fifth phase of a cardiac cycle and represents the period just before mitral valve closing

The "blip" in the arterial pressure curve, called the _____, is produced when the aortic valve closes

Where in the heart is conduction velocity the slowest? _____

#10

Cardiac cycle in pathologic states Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: _____ is the phase of the cardiac cycle representing the period between aortic valve closing and mitral valve opening

Answer: Isovolumetric relaxation

Flashcard 2: Increased right atrial pressure, due to filling against a closed tricuspid valve, appears as the _____ wave on the venous pulse curve

Answer: v

Flashcard 3: During right ventricular contraction, the tricuspid valve bulges into the right atrium, which appears as the _____ wave on the venous pulse curve

Answer: c

Flashcard 4: The heart sound _____ may be audible during isovolumetric contraction

Answer: S1

Flashcard 5: During rapid ventricular ejection, the ventricular pressure becomes greater than aortic pressure and the _____ valve opens

Answer: aortic

Flashcard 6: The abnormal heart sound _____ may be audible during rapid ventricular filling (early diastole)

Answer: S3

Flashcard 7: _____ is the fifth phase of a cardiac cycle and represents the period just before mitral valve closing

Answer: Atrial systole (atrial contraction)

Extra: In a common 5-phase model of the cardiac cycle: 1. Isovolumetric contraction 2. Ventricular ejection 3. Isovolumetric relaxation 4. Ventricular filling (Rapid and Slow/Reduced filling) 5. **Atrial systole**: The final phase of diastole where the atrium contracts to provide the "atrial kick." This phase occurs just before the closure of the AV valves (mitral and tricuspid).

Flashcard 8: The "blip" in the arterial pressure curve, called the _____, is produced when the aortic valve closes

Answer: dicrotic notch

Flashcard 9: Where in the heart is conduction velocity the slowest? _____

Answer: AV node
