Two cardiac cycles will be displayed on the screen.
Impact occurring within a specific 10-30-millisecond portion of the cardiac cycle.
The frequency of the cardiac cycle is described by the heart rate.
Throughout the cardiac cycle, blood pressure increases and decreases.
The carotid artery only has one beat in the cardiac cycle.
With each cardiac cycle the heart pumps blood to the periphery.
Each cardiac cycle appears as a peak, as seen in the figure.
When this happens one time, it is called a cardiac cycle.
It is defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.
The device also measures the variation in pressure that occurs with the cardiac cycle.
