drive - key equations

Question 1

What is the equation to calculate cardiac output?

Answer 1

Cardiac output = Heart rate x Stroke volume

Question 2

What is the equation to calculate blood pressure?

Answer 2

Blood Pressure = Cardiac output x Total peripheral resistance

Question 3

What is the equation to calculate pulse pressure?

Answer 3

Pulse pressure = Systolic pressure - Diastolic pressure

Question 4

What is the equation to calculate mean arterial pressure?

Answer 4

Mean arterial pressure = Diastolic pressure + 1/3(systolic pressure - diastolic pressure)

Question 5

What is the equation to calculate Poiseuille’s equation?

Answer 5

Flow = Radius^4

Question 6

What is the equation to calculate Ohms law?

Answer 6

Flow = Pressure gradient x Resistance

Question 7

What is the typical cardiac output?

Answer 7

5 L/min

Question 8

What is the equation to calculate stroke volume?

Answer 8

Stroke volume = End diastolic volume - End systolic volume
