Isovolumetric Ventricular Relaxation

begins after the ventricles are fully repolarized, marked by the end of the T wave on the ECG.

Rapid Ventricular Filling

ventricular pressure falls to its lowest level (below atrial pressure), the AV valve opens.

Rapid Ventricular Filling

Ventricular pressure remains low, because the ventricle is still relaxed and compliant.

Rapid Ventricular Filling

The rapid flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles produces the third heart sound (S3).

Third heart sound (S3) 

normal in children but is not heard in normal adults

indicates volume overload, as in congestive heart failure or advanced mitral or tricuspid regurgitation.
