Cardiac Output Flashcards
What is cardiac output (cop)?
The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute
What is the equation for cardiac output?
Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume
What is stroke volume?
The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per beat
What is EDV?
The volume of blood remaining in the ventricle at the end of diastole
What is steady state?
Under normal conditions, the venous return to the heart equals the cardiac output from the heart
What happens when the venous return increases?
Cardiac output will also increase
What is the equation for ejection fraction?
What is venous return?
Flow rate into the heart
What is ESV?
Volume of blood remaining in the ventricle at the end of systole
What is the value of EDV?
135ml
What is the value of ESV ?
65 - 70 ml
What is the equation for SV?
EDV - ESV
