Question

Calculate the cardiac output if heart rate (HR) is 90 beats per minute, stroke volume (SV) is 110 ml/beat, end diastolic volume (EDV) is 140 ml, and end systolic volume (ESV) is 30 ml A. 99L/min B. 140 L/min C. 200 L/min D. 340L/min

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option A. 99L/min

Explanation:

Cardiac output is the product of heart rate and stroke volume. Written as

CO = HR x ST

where CO is cardiac output

HR is heart rate (beats/min)

ST is stroke volume (L/beats)

CO = ?

HR = 90beat/min

ST = 110ml/beats = 110L/ beat x 0.01= 1.1L/beat

Substituting the values of HR and ST into the equation. We have

CO = 90beat/min x 1.1L/beat

CO = 99L/min

Cardiac output is 99L/min.
