Conduction system of heart order
SA node, AV node, AV bundle, bundle branches, Purkinje fibres
The semilunar valve are open due to
Ventricular systole
When the chambers relax and fill with blood
Diastole
When the chambers contract and eject blood
Systole
When are AV valves open?
Beginning of each cycle
When are pulmonary and aortic valves closed
Same time as the AV valves are open
Atrial depolarization wave
P
Ventricular depolarization
QRS complex
QRS complex masks what
The atria repolarization and relaxing
When is the AV valves closed
Ventricular systole
When are pulmonary and aortic valves open
When the pressure in the ventricles is higher than the pulmonary trunk and aorta
When do ventricles repolarize
During diastole and T wave
When do aortic and pulmonary valves close
During ventricular diastole
What happens when intraventricular pressure falls below atria pressure?
AV valves open and cycle starts again
Inotropes
Affect contraction strength
Chronotropes
Affect heart rate
Preload
How full the heart is before pumping out blood
Contractility
How strong the contractions are
After load
How hard it is to pump blood out of
Stroke volume
How much blood comes out of the heart
