     […] I did almoſt beleeve, that the motion of the Heart vvas knovvn to God alone: For neither could I rightly diſtinguiſh, vvhich vvay the Diaſtole and Systole came to be, nor vvhen nor vvhere the dilation and conſtriction had its exiſtence.

     In patients with rapid rates, diastole may be sufficiently shortened that the third and fourth heart sounds become superimposed and form a summation gallop.

   • 2008, Jack H. Wilmore, David L. Costill, W. Larry Kenney, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, page 132:

     During a short cycle or premature contraction, LV ejection begins before pressure in the aorta has completely decreased, and it remains higher than with longer diastoles [4, 5].

2. (uncountable, prosody) The lengthening of a vowel or syllable beyond its typical length.
   • 1815 March and June, On the Greek and Latin Accents, The Classical Journal, Volume XI, page 81,

     [A]ccording to prosody, this syllable has the diastole and the stress, whereas the second of “cujus” or of “animam” has not.
