Understanding the Cardiac Cycle

Cardiac output would be calculated as Follows: CO= HR X ______

Stroke volume is most often represented in ______, while cardiac output is most often represented in liters.

Cardiac output is the same for both the right and left sides of the ______, even though they are involved in different circuits.

If cardiac output was 5L per minute, this means that 50 ml of blood would be transferred from your systemic circulation to your ______ circulation every minute.

If a 1% mismatch in blood flow between the right and left ventricles went on for 20 minutes, a full ______ of blood would have been transferred.

This would increase the ______ throughout your pulmonary circulation.

You would eventually die because your lungs would "drown" from the inside due to ______.

Dr. Nguyen pointed out that stroke volume is most often represented in ______.

Be sure to make the appropriate ______ when using one to calculate the other.

Even as little as 1% mismatch could have a profound negative impact on the body by causing a ______ in either the pulmonary or systemic circuit.
