The diastolic duration as a percentage of the cardiac cycle in healthy adults: A pilot study
This study challenges the longstanding teaching that diastole accounts for two-thirds of the cardiac cycle. Instead, diastole represents 58 % of the cycle, highlighting the need to reconsider its role in cardiovascular physiology and clinical applications.
