PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - The cardiac cycle can be divided into alternating periods of myocardial contraction, or systole, and periods of myocardial relaxation, or diastole. Ventricular systolic function is best understood quantitatively in terms of cardiac output (CO) and ejection fraction (EF), whereas the diastolic component of ventricular function relates to the ventricular isovolumetric relaxation time and ventricular capacitance during filling.
