| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| P wave | Atrial depolarization |
| a wave | Atrial systole |
| QRS complex | Ventricular depolarization |
| c wave | Ventricular systole |
| v wave | AV valve opens and ventricles fill |
| Isovolumic contraction | Mitral and Aortic valve closed |
| When does the aortic valve open | around 80mm Hg |
| S1 or "lub" | AV valve closing |
| S2 or "dub" | Aortic valve closing |
| The Mitral valve closes when | The QRS complex has been initiated |
| The aortic valve opens | When left ventricular pressure equals aortic pressure, when ventricular volume is at its max, during the c wave of atrial pressure, at the end of diastolic runoff of arterial pressure |
| The aortic valve closes | At the start of S2, When ventricular myocytes all enter phase 3 of the action potential |
| The first heart sound, S1, is | Vibrations from closing of mitral and tricuspid valves |
| The C wave of atrial pressure is | Elevated when the mitral valve is leaky and because the left atrial filling and bulging of the mitral valve |
| Peak systolic pressure occurs | Between aortic closing |
