Calculate the cardiac of an individual having 70 heart beats/min with a stroke volume of 55 mL.

  1. A 3750mL
  2. B 125mL
  3. C 3850mL
  4. D None of above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3850mL

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) 3850mL,
Cardiac output equals the stroke volume (SV), the volume of blood ejected by the ventricle during each contraction, multiplied by the heart rate (HR), the number of heart beats per minute: CO = SV × HR
The stroke volume, SV = 55 ml and heart rate, HR = 70 beats/min. Therefore, cardiac output=55×70=3850 ml.
