Question

If your Cardiac Output is 10,000 mL per minute, and your heart rate is 120 bpm, what

is your stroke volume?

Answer 1

Stroke Volume= 83.33 mL/bpm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation you are using is that for Cardiac Output.

CO = SV x HR

1.) Rearrange the equation to get what you are looking for which is Stroke Volume.

SV = CO/HR

2.) Plug in the numbers you are given and solve.

SV= 10,000 mL / 120 bpm

Answer: 83.33 mL/bpm

(Side note: Sometimes you will have to convert from Liters to mL read your questions very carefully)
