What would be the heart rate of a person if the cardiac output is 5 L, blood volume in the ventricles at the end of diastole is 100 mL and at the end of ventricular systole is 50 mL [2019]
(4)
Stroke volume = End diastolic volume – End systolic volume
= 100 – 50 = 50 mL
Cardiac output = Heart beat × Stroke volume
Heart beat = Cardiac output / Stroke volume
= 5000 / 50 = 100 beats per minute
