Basic structure of the heart
The simplified circulatory system. The blood is delivered from the right ventricle to the lung. The oxygenated blood from the lung is then returned to the left atrium before being sent throughout the body from the left ventricle. Deoxygenated blood from the body flows back to the right atrium and the cycle repeats.
The ECG initiates the cardiac cycle and cardiac sounds. The ejection occurs when the pressure in the left ventricle exceeds that in the arteries.
Cardiac Cycle
Duration and characteristics of each major event in the cardiac cycle.

(a) The normal ECG. (b) 1st degree AV block in which the delay from the P wave to the Q wave is lengthened. (c) myocardial infarction (lack of blood flow to heart muscle, which causes tissue to die),
in which the S–T segment is depressed.
