Cardiac Cycle:
Rhythmic Pumping of Heart
Cardiac Cycle
Cardiac Cycle
Atrial Systole:
Atria contract and additional blood gets pushed
into ventricles.
Cardiac Cycle
Isovolumetric contraction:
Blood is non-compressible, so pressure in the
chamber increases but volume does not.

Electrocardiogram (EKG)
Electrocardiogram (EKG)
Cardiac Output
CO = HR x SV
Heart rate (HR) = beats per minute
Stroke volume (SV) = amount of blood
pumped per beat
Cardiac Output
Decreasing HR = bradycardia
Increasing HR = tachycardia
