Special video today. We will not specifically talk about the second cycle cardiology program. The concepts covered today are rather covered at the end of the first cycle. It is about knowing what systole and diastole are, when the different valves open and close. How the pressures and volumes of the different heart cavities evolve during the cycle. Finally, we will also cover the concepts of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac output. A final word on heart sounds.
