systolikus

Systolikus is a term derived from the Greek word "systole," which means contraction. In the context of physiology, it refers to the phase of the cardiac cycle during which the heart's ventricles contract, pumping blood into the arteries. This phase is crucial for maintaining blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body. The systolikus phase is typically measured as the systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure exerted on the artery walls when the heart contracts. This measurement is an important indicator of cardiovascular health and is often used in medical assessments. The duration of the systolikus phase is relatively short, lasting about one-third of the cardiac cycle. It is followed by the diastolikus phase, during which the heart relaxes and fills with blood. The systolikus phase is a vital component of the heart's function, ensuring that blood is efficiently circulated throughout the body.
