Yes, ventricular contraction occurs shortly after depolarization of the Purkinje fibers. When the Purkinje fibers depolarize, they rapidly conduct electrical impulses throughout the ventricles, leading to synchronized contraction of the ventricular muscle. This contraction, known as ventricular systole, follows the wave of depolarization and is essential for effectively pumping blood out of the heart.
