Definition ...
Full article >>>During
systole, your
ventricles contract, forcing
blood into the vessels going to your
lungs and body - much like ketchup being forced out of a squeeze bottle. The
right ventricle contracts a little bit before the
left ventricle does.

Full article >>>For example, a presystolic

Full article >>>This program enables the viewer to determine the period of
systole and
diastole, and to identify the sounds in the proper portion of the
cardiac cycle. Instructions for use of this program appear below.
Full article >>>If your
heart rate is very fast (over 100 beats per minute), this is called
tachycardia. An unusually
slow heart rate is called
bradycardia, and an occasional extra
heart beat is known as extra
systole.
Full article >>>Atrial ectopic beats (AEB) refers to a
contraction of the upper
heart chamber which occurs before it would be expected.
Atrial ectopic beats are also known as premature
atrial beats, premature
atrial complex (PAC), or
atrial extra
systole.
