Question
Regarding the cardiac cycle at resting HR, when in the cycle does ventricular filling occur? How
important is atrial contraction to the EDV? Why is the first part of ventricular contraction isovolumetric?
When and why does rapid ejection of blood from the ventricle occur?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Introduction:
To pump blood around the body, the atria and ventricles periodically contract and relax in a process termed as the cardiac cycle.

The amount of blood found within the left ventricle just after ejection and before the left AV valves opens is called the _____________________ (EDV, ESV, EF). Clinically, one of the best parameters used to measure cardiac function is the EF. In terms of EDV and ESV, what simple equation would give you the EF? If you had an echocardiogram and found that your EDV was 100 cc and your ESV was 30 cc, what would be your EF? EDV = end-diastolic volume, ESV = end-systolic volume, EF = ejection fractionarrow_forwardWhat are the two functional importances of the intercalated discs of cardiac muscle?arrow_forward
