The stroke volume for the heart is the volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle per beat, which is the difference between the volume of the heart at the end of diastole (when the heart is filled with blood) and the end of systole (after the heart has contracted). This corresponds to the difference between points B (end-diastolic volume) and A (end-systolic volume) on a pressure-volume (PV) diagram.
