Title: If the stroke volume of the left ventricle is 65 mL/beat and the stroke volume o Post by: ppk on Jul 24, 2011 If the stroke volume of the left ventricle is 65 mL/beat and the stroke volume of the right ventricle is 68 mL/beat, what will happen to the relative distribution of blood in the systemic and pulmonary circulation after 15 beats?
Title: Re: If the stroke volume of the left ventricle is 65 mL/beat and the stroke volume o Post by: bio_man on Jul 28, 2011 With each heartbeat, the left side will get "behind" by 3 mLs, with this volume contributing to congestion in the pulmonary circuit; after 15 beats, the deficit will total 45 mL of extra fluid in the pulmonary circuit. This could be the beginning of congestion that sets the stage for congestive heart failure.
