Events Cardiac Systole Link Electrical Heart Beat Cycle

Atrial systole occurs when the SAN initiates excitation, and ventricular systole occurs as Purkyne fibers conduct excitation from the apex up the ventricle walls, linking electrical events to the cardiac cycle.

Front Link the electrical events of the heart beat to events in the cardiac cycle.
Back Conduction system & cardiac cycle:
  • Atrial systole - when SAN initiates wave of excitation
  • Ventricular systole - as purkyne fibres conduct from apex up the walls of ventricles
