Systolisessa

Systolisessa is a Finnish term used in medical contexts to refer to phenomena occurring during systole, the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract and eject blood into the arteries. The word is the adverbial form related to the adjective systolinen (systolic). It is used to describe actions, measurements, or events that take place during systole and is often contrasted with diastolisessa, which describes events during diastole, the relaxation and filling phase.

In clinical practice, systolisessa describes measurements or events associated with ventricular contraction. The most common example is systolinen verenpaine, or systolic blood pressure, which measures the peak arterial pressure during heart contraction. Systolisessa contexts are also used when discussing systolic function, such as the heart’s ability to pump blood during contraction, and the dynamics of blood flow that occur in the systolic phase. The term appears across anatomical, physiological, and clinical texts to specify timing within the cardiac cycle.

Usage notes: systolisessa is primarily found in Finnish medical literature and is typically confined to formal or technical discussion of the cardiac cycle. In everyday language, references to the systolic phase are usually expressed with more general phrasing, but systolisessa may appear in academic papers, textbooks, and clinical guidelines when precise timing within the heartbeat is important.
