systolischen

Systolischen is the inflected form of the German adjective systolisch, meaning “systolic” or “pertaining to systole.” Systole is the contraction phase of the heartbeat during which the ventricles pump blood into the arteries. The term is used in medical and physiological contexts to describe processes, measurements, and conditions related to this phase of the cardiac cycle. It sits opposite diastolisch, which refers to the relaxation phase known as diastole.

In German, adjectives are declined to agree with the nouns they modify, so systolisch takes different endings depending on gender, case, and number. The form systolischen appears in several cases, such as des systolischen Blutdrucks (genitive singular masculine), den systolischen Blutdruck (accusative singular masculine), der systolischen Phase (dative or feminine nominative with definite article), and die systolischen Werte (nominative plural). Other common phrases include systolische Phase, systolische Blutdruckwerte, or unter systolischen Bedingungen. These variants illustrate how the same base form changes to match grammatical context.

Beyond cardiology, systolisch can describe any attribute related to the systole phase, including measurements, segments, or conditions of the heart during contraction. The term is usually paired with nouns such as Blutdruck (blood pressure), Phase (phase), or Werte (values). Understanding the declension helps in constructing correct phrases, for example, der systolische Druck or des systolischen Drucks, depending on the sentence structure.
