Cardio Terms

Question 1

Stroke Volume

Answer 1

Amount of blood ejected with each contraction

55 - 100 mL/beat

Question 2

Cardiac Output

Answer 2

Amount of blood discharged from the (L) or (R) ventricle per minute

4 - 5 L

Question 3

Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure

Answer 3

Pressure in (L) ventricle during diastole

5 - 12 mmHg

Question 4

Ejection Fraction

Answer 4

% of blood emptied from the ventricle during systole

60 - 70%

Question 5

Systole

Answer 5

Ventricular contraction

Question 6

End Systolic Volume

Answer 6

Amount of blood in ventricles after systole

50 mL

Question 7

Diastole

Answer 7

Period of ventricular relaxation and filling of blood

Question 8

End Diastolic Volume

Answer 8

Amount of blood in ventricles after diastole

120 mL

Question 9

Heart Rate

Answer 9

Adult = 60 - 100 BPM
Peds = 115 - 140 BPM

Question 10

Blood Pressure

Answer 10

Adult = 120/80 mmHg of less
Peds = < 2 yo = 106-110/59-63 mmHg
3 - 5 yo = 113-116/67-74 mmHg

Pre HTN = 120-130/80-89
HTN = (1) 130-140/90-100 mmHg
(2) 140-160/100-110 mmHg
(3) > 160/110 mmHg

Question 11

Respiratory Rate

Answer 11

Adult = 12 - 20 breaths per min
Peds = 30 - 40 breaths per min (newborn)
