    The cycle is initiated with the firing of the SA node that stimulates the atria to depolarize. This is represented by the P-wave on the ECG. Atrial contraction starts shortly after the P-wave begins, and causes the pressure within the atria to increase, FORCING blood into the ventricles. Atrial contraction, however, only accounts for a FRACTION of ventricular filling, because at this point, the ventricles are ALREADY almost full due to PASSIVE blood flow DOWN the ventricles through the OPEN AV valves.
    As atrial contraction completes, atrial pressure begins to FALL, REVERSING the pressure gradient across the AV valves, causing them to CLOSE. The closing of the AV valves produces the first heart sound, S1, and marks the beginning of SYSTOLE. At this point, ventricular depolarization, represented by the QRS complex, is half way through, and the ventricles start to contract, RAPIDLY building UP pressures inside the ventricles. For a moment, however, the semilunar valves remain closed, and the ventricles contract within a CLOSED space. This phase is referred to as isovolumetric contraction, because NO blood is ejected and ventricular volume is UN-changed.
    Ventricular ejection starts when ventricular pressures EXCEED the pressures within the aorta and pulmonary artery; the aortic and pulmonic valves OPEN and blood is EJECTED out of the ventricles. This is the RAPID ejection phase.
    As ventricular repolarization, reflected by the T-wave, begins, ventricular pressure starts to FALL and the force of ejection is REDUCED.
    When ventricular pressures drop BELOW aortic and pulmonary pressures, the semilunar valves CLOSE, marking the end of systole and beginning of diastole. Closure of semilunar valves produces the second heart sound, S2.
    The first part of diastole is, again, isovolumetric, as the ventricles relax with ALL valves CLOSED. Ventricular pressure drops RAPIDLY but their volumes remain UNchanged.
    Meanwhile, the atria are being filled with blood and atrial pressures RISE slowly. Ventricular FILLING starts when ventricular pressures drop BELOW atrial pressures, causing the AV valve to open, allowing blood to flow DOWN the ventricles PASSIVELY.

    The cardiac cycle refers to the sequence of events that occur and repeat with every heart beat. It can be divided into 2 major phases, Systole and Diastole. Each of which subdivides into several smaller phases. Systole and diastole refer to ventricular contraction and relaxation respectively.
    Reminders:
    - blood flows from higher to lower pressure
    - contraction increases the pressure within the chamber while relaxation lowers the pressure
    - Av valves open when atrial pressure are hogher than ventricular pressure and close when the pressure gradient is reversed
    - Similarly semilunar valves open when ventricular presures are higher than aortic pulmonary pressures and close when the reverse is true.
    Phase 1 atrial depo/contraction
    Phase 2 iso. Contrction
    Phase 3 rapid ejection
    Phase 4 reduced ejection
    Phase 5 iso. Relaxation
    Phase 6 ventricular filling
    The cycle is initiated when the firing of the SA node that stimulates the atria to depolarize. This is represented by the P wave in the ECG. Atrial contraction starts shortly after the P wave begins and causes the pressure within the atria to increase forcing blood into the ventricles. Atrial contraction however only accounts for a fraction of ventricular filling because at this point the ventricles are already almost full due to passive blood flow down the ventricles thru the open av valves. As atrial contraction completes, atrial pressure begins to fall reversing the pressure gradient across the av valves causing them to close. The closing if the av valves produces the first heart sound S1 and marks the beginning of systole. At this point, ventricular depolarization represented by rhe QRS complex is halfway thru and the ventricles contract rapidly building up pressures inside the ventricles. For a moment however the semilunar valves remain closed and the ventricles contract within a closed space. This phase is refered to ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION because no blood is ejected and ventriclular volume is unchanged. Ventricular EJECTION starts when ventricular pressure exceed the pressure within the aorta and pulmonary artery. The aortic and pulmonic valves open and blood is ejected out of the ventricles. This is the RAPID EJECTION PHASE. As ventricular REPOLARIZATION reflected by the T wave begins, ventricular pressure starts to fall and the force of ejection is reduced. When ventricular pressure drop below aortic and pulmonary pressures, the semilunar valves closed marking the ends of systole and beginning of diastole. Closure of semilunar valves produces the second heart sound S2.
    The first part of diastole is again isovolumetric relaxation as the ventricles relax with all the valves closed, ventricular pressure drops rapidly but their volumes remains unchanged. Meanwhile the atrium being filled with blood atrial pressure rise slowly, ventricular filling starts when ventricular pressure drops below atrial pressures causing av valves to open allowing blood to flow down the ventricles passively. The atrial contract to finish the filling phase and the cycle repeats itself.

    This video is presented awesomely thank u , though lets remember that there is also a " Dicrotic Notch " seen in the aortic pressure right in there while the pressure in the ventricles is falling as they relax , and this notch is there because once the aortic valve closes ( to prevent backflow ) some of this blood that wants to flow back into the ventricles from the aorta , bumps into the closed aortic valve and bounces back .
