APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac cycle events can be divided into diastole and systole. Diastole represents ventricular filling, and systole represents ventricular contraction/ejection. Systole and diastole occur in both the right and left heart, though with very different pressures (see hemodynamics below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Ventricular systole refers to the period of contraction of the ventricles. The electrical impulse arrives at the atrioventricular node (AV node) shortly after the atria are depolarized. There is a small delay at the AV node, which allows the atria to complete contracting before the ventricles are depolarized.

Detailed explanation-3: -The contraction phase is called systole and relaxation phase is called diastole.
