Title: Estimate your hearts stroke capacity using the normal range of 60 to 70 mL
Post by: biochicka on Mar 14, 2016
Estimate your hearts stroke capacity using the normal range of 60 to 70 mL. Using your estimated stroke volume, calculate the volume of blood in L your heart pumps per minute.

The stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per beat. The normal range of stroke volume is 60 to 70 mL.

 To calculate the volume of blood in L your heart pumps per minute, you can multiply your estimated stroke volume by your heart rate (beats per minute).

For example, if your stroke volume is 70 mL and your heart rate is 72 beats per minute, then your cardiac output would be approximately 5.04 L/min.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
