systolictop

Systolictop is a term used in some niche contexts to denote the apex of a systolic event. It is not a standard medical term and has no single universally accepted definition. Depending on the field, it may refer to the peak of a systolic pressure waveform, the maximum systolic velocity in Doppler imaging, or the highest systolic reading in a data series.

In physiology and clinical cardiology, systole is the phase of heart contraction during which blood is ejected. The point at which the contraction reaches its strongest or fastest moment is sometimes described as the peak systole; some authors or software might compress this as "systolictop" as shorthand, though this usage is informal.

In data analysis or software tools that process hemodynamic signals, systolictop may label the time index or value corresponding to the largest systolic measurement within a chosen window. As such, the meaning is largely determined by the accompanying documentation.

Status and usage: The term has limited adoption and lacks a canonical definition. When encountered, readers should consult the source’s definitions to understand the intended meaning. See also: systole, systolic pressure, peak systolic velocity, Doppler echocardiography.
