(dy- ass-toh-lee) The stage of the heart cycle in which the heart muscle is relaxed, allowing the chambers to fill with blood.
expansion of the chambers of the heart, during which they fill with blood
Greek dia = apart, and stellein = sending, hence sending the walls of the heart apart, i.e. relaxation or dilatation. Adjective - diastolic.
a relaxation event of either the atria or ventricles.
The relaxed phase of the heart's pumping cycle.
Relaxation and filling of the heart ventricles.
The phase of the heart's cycle during which it relaxes and fills its chambers with blood.
That part of the cardiac cycle when the chambers are quiescent. Major filling of ventricle occurs. Compare systole.
in the cardiac cycle, the phase of relaxation or dilation of the heart muscle, especially, the ventricles
The period during which the atria and ventricles relax, filling with blood.
the widening of the chambers of the heart between two contractions when the chambers fill with blood
The filling of the ventricle of the heart with blood. PICTURE
Diastole is the portion of the heart's pumping cycle during which the muscle relaxes to let the heart fill. The portion of the cycle when the heart empties is called systole.
during the cardiac cycle, when the heart relaxes & allows blood to flow in.
Period during the heart cycle in which the muscle relaxes, followed by contraction (systole). In a blood pressure reading, the lower number is the diastolic measurement.
The period of the cardiac cycle during which the chambers relax to fill with blood.
Period in the cardiac cycle during which the heart muscle relaxes and fills with blood.
Phase of the heartbeat where the ventricles relax and fill with blood.
The period in which the heart muscle relaxes between beats.
when the heart muscle is relaxed and the ventricles fill with blood.
A short resting period between two beats, during which the heart is filled with blood Dilatation: Expansion of a narrowed section of a vessel Drug-eluting stent (DES): An implantable stent that gradually delivers an anti-inflammatory agent in the blood vessel
Normal period of relaxation and dilatation of the heart cavities.
The phase during which the heart (esp. the ventricles) expands. The second (or bottom) number in your blood pressure is the minimal pressure and occurs late in diastole.
The relaxation period of the heart.
Resting or relaxation phase of the heart cycle during which time the chambers of the heart are filling with blood. Period of the cardiac cycle when the heart relaxes to allow blood flow in.
The interval between heartbeats, when the heart is relaxed.
The time period when the heart is in a state of relaxation and dilatation (expansion). See the entire definition of Diastole
The period of time in the cardiac cycle when the heart is resting or filling with blood.
Diastole is the phase of the heart during which the heart muscle relaxes, causing blood to fill the heart chambers.
relaxation phase of the heartbeat allowing heart chambers to refill.
Relaxation phase of the heart beat.
The period of the cardiac cycle when the heart is relaxed and allows blood to flow into the chambers.
The period during the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are relaxed. When measuring blood pressure if your blood pressure is 120/70, the "70" refers to your diastolic blood pressure.
Means “to dilate†or “to expandâ€. the time during which the heart's chambers relax and fill with blood. The lower number in a blood-pressure reading.
Refers to the resting phase of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles relax and fill with blood between contractions (see also blood pressure).
the pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes (the lower number)
