Cardiac output (CO) is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Cardiac Output} = \text{Stroke Volume} \times \text{Heart Rate} \]
Where:
- Stroke Volume (SV) is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one beat.
- Heart Rate (HR) is the number of heartbeats per minute.
From your provided data:
- The total volume of blood pumped in 1 minute is 5000 mL (which is the cardiac output).
- The heart rate is 50 beats per minute.
To find the stroke volume:
\[ \text{Stroke Volume} = \frac{\text{Cardiac Output}}{\text{Heart Rate}} \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ \text{Stroke Volume} = \frac{5000 , \text{mL}}{50 , \text{beats/min}} = 100 , \text{mL/beat} \]
So, the cardiac output is already provided as 5000 mL/min.
In summary:
- Cardiac Output = 5000 mL/min
- Stroke Volume = 100 mL per beat
- Heart Rate = 50 beats per minute
