Question

For an athelete if the stroke volume is 95 mL of blood and his heart beat is 80/min then the cardiac output is:

• A. 5,000 mL
• B. 6,700 Ml
• C. 7,600 ml
• D. 4,500 Ml

Answer 1

The correct option is C 7,600 ml

• Cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and the heart beat per minute.
• So the athelete with a stroke volume of 95mL and 80 beat/minute is

Cardiac output = stroke volume x heart beat

= 95 mL x 80

= 7600 mL

Therefore the cardiac output of the athelete is 7600 mL

So the correct answer is option C
