What is the equation for cardiac output (CO) in terms of stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR)?
What is the equation for cardiac output (CO) in terms of stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR)?
- CO = SV + HR
- CO = SV - HR
- CO = SV * HR (correct)
- CO = SV / HR

How is ejection fraction (EF) calculated?
How is ejection fraction (EF) calculated?
- EF = SV - EDV + ESV
- EF = SV + EDV - ESV
- EF = SV / EDV (correct)
- EF = SV * EDV
