CIDE DICTIONARY
hemisystole, n.
Contraction of only one ventricle of the heart. [1913 Webster]
" 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."
[1913 Webster]
