The animation below shows how your heart pumps blood. ... The atrium contracts (atrial systole). The tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and ventricle opens for a short time and then shuts. This allows blood to enter into the right ventricle without flowing back into the right atrium.

We report two cases of Fontan patients with the absence of AV synchrony that resulted in reversal of flow through the Fontan fenestration during ventricular systole.

This suggests that changes of Ca2+ flux during systole are not responsible for the strophanthidin-induced increase of s.r. Ca2+. We conclude that the primary mechanism by which the cardiac cell gains Ca2+ when the Na-K pump is inhibited is by a net influx during diastole.

Prior to atrial systole, blood has been flowing passively from the atrium into the ventricle through the open AV valve. During atrial systole the atrium contracts and tops off the volume in the ventricle with only a small amount of blood.
