What is a passive event and occurs during diastole?

Bi-cular filling
Ventricular filling
Cardiac bypass
All of the above

Explanation

Answer - B - Ventricular filling is a passive event and occurs during diastole. Only 25% of blood volume is pumped into the ventricle by the atria. The important factor that affects ventricular filling is preload, or the amount of blood that is returned to the heart. A decreased preload will result in a decline in filling pressure and a diminished force of contraction.
