Every heartbeat is more than a rhythm — it’s a sequence of finely tuned electrical sparks and mechanical events that determine life, perfusion, and anesthetic stability. In this episode, we break down the Conduction vs Mechanical Timeline of the cardiac cycle, using simple analogies and clinical pearls that every anesthesia resident and practitioner can apply at the bedside or in exams. From atrial kick to afterload, from Wiggers diagram insights to PV loop physiology, this discussion turns complex physiology into actionable knowledge for the OR.
