CV4 Flashcards
where do the heart sounds occur in the wiggers diagram
A and B (highest marks)
what is stroke volume
amount of blood ejected during a singular ventricular contraction
whats the average stroke volume
70 ml
whats the equation for stroke volume
SV = EDV - ESV
what does the ESV provide
a safety margin in case the body requires more blood
what is stroke volume modulated by
autonomic nervous system
venous return
certain drugs
what is ejection fraction
percentage if blood that that is ejected from the heart
how to calculate ejection fraction
EF = SV/EDV
what is cardiac output
flow of blood delivered from one ventricle In a given period is the cardiac output
how to calculate cardiac output
heart rate x stroke volume
does the cardiac output of systemic and pulmonary match
yes - they have to because they feed into each other
what is cardiac outputs units
L/min
how much can CO rise during excercise
30-35 L
what can cardiac output be modified by
adjusting heart rate or stroke volume
what is cardiac output usually at rest
5 L/min
