Cardiovascular Dynamics

• ↑

  • Heart

• Cardiac Output

  • Represented by $Q$.
  • Amount of blood pumped in 1 min
  • At rest, 5 to 6 litres of blood is pumped a minute.
  • During exercise, 30 litres of blood is pumped a minute.
  • Cardiac Output is represented by ;; $Q$

• Stroke Volume

  • Represented by $SV$
  • Amount of blood pumped in one beat
  • Stroke Volume is represented by ;; $SV$

• Heart Rate

  • Beats per minute

• $Q=SV\ast HR$

• What is the formula for Cardiovascular Dynamics? ;; $Q=SV\ast HR$
