2/3 of cycle
AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) are OPEN
pressure in atria is higher than in ventricles.
1st filling phase is called early or protodiastolic filling.
2nd filling is called presystole or atrial systole
Systole phase
֎ -:- blood pumped from ventricles and fills pulmonary and systemic arteries
1/3 of cardiac cycle
ventricular pressure is now HIGHER than that of atria, causing atria to close. After blood ejection,
pressure falls in ventricles. When pressure falls below pressure in aorta, some blood flows backward
towards ventricle, causing aortic valve to shut.
