"Systolic contraction amplitude" refers to how much arterial pressure variance occurs during the left ventricle's contraction. Systolic blood pressure is the measurement pressure exerted when the heart contracts, while diastolic pressure measures the pressure the heart exerts when relaxed. Amplitude measures the farthest difference between a value and its average value. When physicians measure the systolic contraction amplitude for a patient, they are looking for significant differences between the average systolic blood pressure and, usually, the extreme highs. These numbers can prove useful when researchers want to compare the effectiveness of treatment methods for people who have heart disease.

Muscle spasms and cramps are examples of muscle contractions that occurr due to post exercise damage or mineral deprivation, according to a Cornell University study. You can also use an electric current to provoke an involuntary muscle contraction. Electro stimulus machines, tasers and electric chairs all force muscle contraction…
