What phase of the cardiac cycle is most affected by changes in heart rate?_____
The heart sound _____ may be audible during isovolumetric relaxation
Increased right atrial pressure, due to filling against a closed tricuspid valve, appears as the _____ wave on the venous pulse curve
The heart sound _____ may be audible during isovolumetric contraction
During rapid ventricular filling, the left ventricular pressure becomes less than the left atrial pressure and the _____ valve opens
_____ is the fifth phase of a cardiac cycle and represents the period just before mitral valve closing
Where in the heart is conduction velocity the slowest? _____
During rapid ventricular ejection, the ventricular pressure becomes greater than aortic pressure and the _____ valve opens
Inspiration delays closure of the _____ valve which causes splitting of the S2 heart sound
What phase of the cardiac cycle begins during the QRS complex on ECG? _____
