Cardiac Output is the volume of blood pumped out the heart per minute BUT what is the equation?
|
|
Q = HR + SV
|
|
|
Q = HR-SV
|
|
|
Q = HR X SV
|
|
|
Q = HR / SV
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The formula used to calculate cardiac output is given as CO = HR × SV. SV-Stroke volume-the amount of blood circulated by the heart with each beat.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
