CVS Flashcards
1
Q
Cardiac Output (CO)
A
CO = Heart Rate (HR) x Stroke Volume (SV) | Typically 5L/min
2
Q
Blood Pressure (BP)
A
BP = CO x Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR)
3
Q
Pulse Pressure (PP)
A
PP = Systolic Pressure - Diastolic Pressure
4
Q
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
A
MAP = Diastolic Pressure + 1/3 PP
5
Q
Stroke Volume (SV)
A
SV = End Diastolic Volume (EDV) - End Systolic Volume (ESV)
6
Q
Poiseuille’s Equation [Flow]
A
Flow = Radius of Blood Vessel to the power of 4 [r^4]
7
Q
Ohm’s Law [Flow]
A
Flow = Pressure Gradient / Resistance
