Cardiac Physiology

Circulatory System

Figure: Circulatory System. Major genetically predetermined arteries and veins of the body.

Figure: Flow distribution of the cardiac output.

Heart

Figure: Heart Anatomy. Many of the signals measured in this project are defined by the activity of the left ventricle.

Figure: Heart Contraction.

Wigger's Diagram

Figure: Wigger's diagram is an excellent tool to teach cardiac physiology, showing pressures found in the ventricle as well as the aorta and atrium. The sharp contraction resulting in the QRS complex and first heart sound as well as the second sound coinciding with the closure of the aortic valve. The repolarization of the heart muscle corresponding to the T wave.
