 hemisystole
 半減收縮; 半收縮

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Hem·i·sys·to·le n. Physiol. Contraction of only one ventricle of the heart.
 Note:Hemisystole is noticed in rare cases of insufficiency of the mitral valve, in which both ventricles at times contract simultaneously, as in a normal heart, this condition alternating with contraction of the right ventricle alone; hence, intermittent hemisystole.
