Question

Define cardiac output, heart rate, and stroke volume.

Answer 1

Answer:

- Cardiac output = defined as the amount of blood that comes out with each ventricular contraction in a minute. Normally in a healthy and young person it is 4.5 L / min.

- Heart rate = It is the amount of heartbeats in a minute. Normally it goes between 60 to 100 contractions per minute.

- Stroke Volume = It is the amount of blood ejected from the heart to the aorta and to the pulmonary artery in each contraction.
