Isovolumetric contraction is a phase of the cardiac cycle where the ventricles contract, but there is no change in ventricular volume. This occurs as the ventricles generate enough pressure to overcome the pressure in the aorta and pulmonary arteries, but the atrioventricular (AV) valves remain closed, preventing blood from entering or leaving the ventricles.
congrats on reading the definition of Isovolumetric Contraction. now let's actually learn it.
