The 18 pages that link to Cardiac cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• EchocardiographyRelated: Images are interpreted across contraction and relaxation, when structures change position.

• Blood pressureRelated: Systolic and diastolic readings correspond to different phases of this cycle.

• Cardiac outputNarrower topic: Cardiac output aggregates ventricular ejection across repeated cardiac cycles.

• William HarveyRelated: Harvey used the heart’s repeated contractions to explain blood’s movement.

• Heart rateRelated: Each counted heartbeat corresponds to one cardiac cycle.

• Circulatory systemBroader topic: Its repeating pressure changes propel blood through the circulation.

• HeartRelated: It describes the coordinated events that move blood through the heart.

• Mean arterial pressureNarrower topic: Its longer diastolic phase explains why mean pressure lies closer to diastolic than systolic pressure.

• Cardiac magnetic resonance imagingRelated: Acquisition must account for changing chamber shape and motion across each cycle.

• Blood circulationRelated: Its alternating contractions and relaxations propel blood through the circulation.

• Ventricular septal defectRelated: VSD flow is shaped by pressure changes during ventricular contraction and relaxation.

• Cardiovascular systemRelated: Its repeating phases coordinate filling with blood ejection.

• CardiologyRelated: Its phases help explain heart sounds, pressure measurements, and pumping function.

• Valvular heart diseaseNarrower topic: Valve opening and closure are timed to pressure changes during this cycle.

• Systole (cardiac physiology)Narrower topic: Systole is the contraction-and-ejection phase within this repeating sequence.

• Diastole (cardiac cycle)Narrower topic: Diastole is one phase within this repeating sequence.

• Heart soundsNarrower topic: It provides the timing framework that distinguishes systolic from diastolic sounds.

• PulseRelated: Ventricular contraction launches the pressure wave that produces each arterial pulse.
