What is the equation for Cardiac Output? (The amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute)
|
|
Heart Rate x Stroke Volume
|
|
|
Stroke Volume x Tidal Volume
|
|
|
Tidal Volume x Heart Rate
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As we all know, Cardiac output is the total volume of blood that heart pumps every minute. The formula used to calculate cardiac output is given as CO = HR × SV.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cardiac output, expressed in liters/minute, is the amount of blood the heart pumps in 1 minute. Cardiac output is logically equal to the product of the stroke volume and the number of beats per minute (heart rate).
Detailed explanation-3: -The volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle per minute is called the cardiac output. It is given by the formula: Cardiac output = Heart rate x Stroke volume.
