| This is the phase during which the heart contracts. | This is the phase of rest or relaxation of the heart muscles. |
| During systole, the atria send blood into the ventricles to be ejected from the ventricles to the corresponding vessels. | During diastole, the heart chambers fill with blood and the supply of the cardiac muscle is improved. |
| Time taken for atrial systole is 0.1 to 0.16 seconds and ventricular systole is 0.3 seconds. | Atrial diastole lasts 0.7 to 0.76 seconds and ventricular diastole lasts 0.5 to 0.56 seconds. |
