The first phase is a brief isovolumetric contraction, lasting about 0.05 s and a longer ejection phase of about 0.30 s. The isovolumetric contraction causes left ventricular pressure to rise above atrial pressure, which closes the mitral valve and produces the first heart sound.
An ejection fraction is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped out during this second, emptying stage. Heart failure may be caused by problems with the heart's emptying phase, its filling phase or with both phases.
