WHAT DOES SYSTOLIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Systole

Systole /ˈsɪstəliː/ is an ancient medical term first understood as a gathering of blood and later contraction of the heart. More recently it is understood as a force that drives blood out of the heart. Without qualifiers, it usually means the contraction of the left ventricle. The term "systole" originates from New Latin, from Ancient Greek συστολή, from συστέλλειν, from σύν + στέλλειν. The mammalian heart has 4 chambers: the left atrium, the left ventricle, the right atrium and the right ventricle. When the smaller, upper atria chambers contract in late diastole, they send blood down to the larger, lower ventricle chambers. When the lower chambers are filled and the valves to the atria are closed, the ventricles undergo isovolumetric contraction, marking the first stage of systole. The second phase of systole sends blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and body, and from the right ventricle to the lungs. Thus, the atria and ventricles contract in sequence, while the left and right ventricles contract at the same time.
