Equations Flashcards
What is the equation to calculate cardiac output
CO = HR x SR
Heart rate x stroke volume
Define stroke volume
Volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle per beat
What is the equation to calculate stroke volume
EDV - ESV
End diastolic volume - end systolic volume
What is stroke volume measured in
mL/beat
What is stroke volume usually
60-130 mL/beat
What is cardiac output measured in
L/min
What is the equation for OHM’s law
Flow = pressure / resistance
What is the equation for pulse pressure
Systolic - diastolic pressure
What is pulse pressure measured in
mmHg
What is the equation for blood pressure
CO (cardiac output) x total peripheral resistance
What is blood pressure measured in
mmHg
What is the equation for mean arterial pressure (MAP)
Diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure
What is the equation for Poiseuille’s Law
Flow = radius to power of 4
