Provided below are the pressures in the left atrium, leftventricle, and aorta at a given point during the cardiac cycle oftwo different NORMAL patients. Based on the threepressures, what phase of the cardiac cycle are each of the twopatients in?
Patient 1
Atrial pressure: 10 mmHg
Ventricular pressure: 75 mmHg
Aortic pressure: 85 mmHg
Patient 2
Atrial pressure: 15 mmHg
Ventricular pressure: 10 mmHg
Aortic pressure: 90 mmHg
A) Patient 1: Isovolumetric Contraction
Patient 2: Filling
B) Patient 1: Isovolumetric contraction
Patient 2: Ejection
C) Patient 1: Isovolumetric Relaxation
Patient 2: Ejection
D) Patient 1: Filling
Patient 2: Isovolumetric Contraction
E) Patient 1: Filling
Patient 2: Isovolumetric Relaxation
