Document Summary

Volume of blood ejected from each ventricle per minute. Cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during each minute. It averages around 5 liters per minute at rest. Cardiac output is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume in milliliters per beat by the heart rate in beats per minute. The stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected with each ventricular contraction. Cardiac reserve is the difference between a person"s resting cardiac output and maximum cardiac output. It is affected by cardiac health and training. Stroke volume is the difference between what is in the ventricle just before it contracts at the end of relaxation (end-diastolic volume) and the volume in the ventricle immediately after the heart finishes contracting (end-systolic volume). The average end-diastolic volume is 120 ml. Edv is related to venous return and filling time. Esv averages 50 ml and related to the ease with which blood is ejected.
