Wiggers diagram of the cardiac cycle, with isovolumic relaxation marked at top. Isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) is an interval in the cardiac cycle, from the aortic component of the second heart sound, that is, closure of the aortic valve, to onset of filling by opening of the mitral valve. [1] It can be used as an indicator of diastolic ...
A Wiggers diagram modified from [1]. A Wiggers diagram, named after its developer, Carl Wiggers, is a unique diagram that has been used in teaching cardiac physiology for more than a century.
The isovolumetric contraction phase lasts about 0.05 seconds, [1] but this short period of time is enough to build up a sufficiently high pressure that eventually overcomes that of the aorta and the pulmonary artery upon opening of the semilunar valves. This process, therefore, helps maintain the correct unidirectional flow of blood through the ...
A Wiggers diagram illustrate events and details of the cardiac cycle with electrographic trace lines, which depict (vertical) changes in a parameter's value as time elapses left-to-right. [2] The ventricular "diastole", or relaxation, begins with "isovolumic relaxation", then proceeds through three sub-stages of inflow, namely: "rapid inflow ...

A Wiggers diagram, showing various events during diastole.During early ventricular diastole—see vertical bar marked "Isovolumetric relaxation"—pressure in each ventricle (light-blue trace) begins to drop quickly from the wave height reached during systole.

Generally speaking, antidepressants help balance the neurotransmitters in the brain, so when you stop taking them, your system needs time to balance itself out again.
