REGULATION OF
CARDIAC OUTPUT
, CARDIAC OUTPUT
The quantity of blood ejected per ventricle per minute by the heart
Cardiac output = Stroke volume Heart rate
Normally = 5-6L/min
Stroke volume – the amount of blood ejected pre ventricle per beat
Heart rate – the number of time the heart beats within a minute
, CARDIAC INDEX
The cardiac output per square meter of body surface area
normal average cardiac index for adults is about 3
L/min/m2
