Complete the calculations, include the units of measurement or your answers will be marked wrong for subject with a blood pressure of 150/100, and a resting pulse of 80 beats/min, calculate the following.

Solution

Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures

Pulse pressure is 150-100 = 50

Stroke volume is 80mL

Cardiac output is Stroke volume x pulse rate

CO = 80 x 80 = 6400 mL

If CO is 3600 mL and pulse rate is 40 beats/min,

The stroke volume is 3600/40 = 90 mL
