Question
Answer
Cardiac Output:   the amount of blood pumped out of the heart through the aorta each minute. adult male at rest normal is 5.6 L/min with women producing 10 to 20% less. during extensive exercise cardiac output to upwards of 25 L/min.  
🗑
Cardiac output = .   stroke volume (x) heart rate  
🗑
Venous Return:   Venous return is the amount of blood that comes from the veins to the right atrium each minute. This is similar in volume to the cardiac output.  
🗑
Stroke Volume:   Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected from the ventricles with each contraction. Factors that can influence stroke volume include “preload” (influenced by end-diastolic volume), “afterload,” and contractility.  
🗑
Cardiac Index:   The cardiac index is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute per square meter of body mass. Normal cardiac index ranges between 2.5 to 4.2 liters/min/meter2.  
🗑
Blood Volume:   Blood volume in an adult is usually 7-8% of their body weight. The blood is pumped through the body at 30 cm/sec with a total circulation time of 20 seconds.  
🗑
Modifiable Factors:   Cholesterol – greater than 200 mg/dL, Hypertension , Smoking, Atherogenic diet , Culture , Physical inactivity, Stress  
🗑
Non-Modifiable Factors Cardiac Pathology   • Age – risk increases with age • Sex – male > female (after menopause female equal to male) • Family history • Culture  
🗑

🗑
Symptoms of Cardiac Pathology   • Chest pain • Shortness of breath • Cardiac arrhythmia (palpitation) • Fainting • Claudication • Cyanosis of lips and nailbeds • Fatigue • Edema  
🗑
Symptoms of Myocardial Infarction   • Severe chest pain • Chest heaviness • Radiating pain down one or both arms • Weakness • Nausea • Vomiting • Diaphoresis • Shortness of breath  
🗑
diagnosis of MI   • Abnormal ECG • Elevation in enzyme level–– Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) –– Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) –– Lactate dehydrogenase  
🗑
