Cardiac output is equal to which of the following?
A)the difference between the end-diastolic volume (EDV) and the end-systolic volume (ESV × HR)
B)the product of heart rate and EDV
C) the difference between the stroke volume at rest and the stroke volume during exercise
D) the stroke volume less the end-systolic volume

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cardiac output is calculated as the product of stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR). Stroke volume is the difference between the end-diastolic volume (EDV) and the end-systolic volume (ESV), so the correct formula is (EDV - ESV) × HR.
