Ventricular Pressure Dynamics Explained

Contraction of the ventricles causes ventricular pressure to rise above aortic pressure, opening the semilunar valves and allowing blood to exit the ventricles into the aorta; as the ventricles relax, pressure falls below atrial pressure opening the AV valves to refill the ventricles from the atria.
