Question

Calculate the stroke volume if the end diastolic volume (edv) is 135 ml/beat and the end systolic volume (esv) is 60 ml/beat.

Answer 1

Answer;

= 75 mL

Explanation;

The SV is calculated by subtracting the ESV from the EDV. You are comparing the volume of the ventricle at its fullest to its emptiest.

Therefore;

Since diastolic volume is 135 mL/beat and systolic volume is 60 mL/beat

Thus; stroke volume = 135 mL/beat - 65 mL/beat

                                   = 75 mL/beat
