Everything about Systole
Part of the cardiac cycle when a heart chamber contracts
Systole is the part of the cardiac cycle during which some chambers of the heart contract after refilling with blood. Its contrasting phase is diastole, the relaxed phase of the cardiac cycle when the chambers of the heart are refilling with blood. Wikipedia →
