The Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle can be divided into four stages: Filling phase –the ventricles fill during diastole and atrial systole. Isovolumetric contraction –the ventricles contract, but as the heart valves are shut, the volume remains constant. This causes a build-up of pressure, re...
The cardiac cycle is the sequence of events that occurs when theheartbeats. As the heart beats, it circulates blood throughpulmonary and systemic circuitsof the body. There are two phases of the cardiac cycle: The diastole phase and the systole phase. In the diastole phase, heartventriclesrel...
and the contraction of one side occurs simultaneously with the contraction of the other. So the first and second stages of diastole in the cardiac cycle happen simultaneously, and then the first and second stages of systole occur. The “lub-dup” noise heard when listening to the heartbeat ...

Thus, although total cardiac work was reduced, efficiency improved. We consistently found hypertension associated with higher total myocardial work but lower efficiency, which was explained by a disproportional increase of wasted work. Consequently, we would expect antihypertensive therapy to lower total ...
The R2 and Q2 test results of the serum were 0.608 and −0.078, while the R2 and Q2 test results of the cardiac tissues were 0.613 and -0.203, respectively, indicating that the models reliably explained and predicted the variation. Furthermore, supervised OPLS-DA was used to discriminate ...
Cardiac time intervals are closely related to cardiac physiology, hemodynamics, and mechanics. Myocardial performance index (MPI), also known as the Tei-index, is a method that combines the systolic and diastolic phases of the cardiac cycle. MPI is calculated by dividing the sum of the isovolum...
This might be explained by quiescent adult epicardial cells being less responsive to EMT-driving stimuli as previously demonstrated in cultured adult EPDCs48. Current knowledge suggests that epicardial cells undergo EMT, forming EPDCs, which subsequently differentiate into other cardiac cell types3,4, ...
Allele-specific gene expression may be explained by the distinctive epigenetic status of the alleles23,24. However, the histone signatures of cardiac monoallelic genes have been largely unexplored. Previous studies suggest that H3K27me3 and H3K36me3 are the primary histone signatures of monoallelic...
