Question

If a patient’s heart rate is 60bpm and the cardiac output is 6L/min what is their stroke volume?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Therefore, we can use the equation CO = HR x SV. This equation tells us that the cardiac output equals the heart rate (HR), which is the number of heartbeats per minute, times the stroke volume (SV), which is the volume of blood pumped by the ventricles with each heartbeat.
