HR is most commonly defined as the number of times the heart beats in one minute. SV is the volume of blood ejected during ventricular contraction or for each stroke of the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume x Heart Rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume The equation can be rearranged to find the heart rate and stroke volume if required: Heart rate = cardiac output ÷ stroke volume. Stroke volume = cardiac output ÷ heart rate.
