Cardiac output is defined as the volume of blood ejected from the heart over one minute, normal range is ( 4-8 L/min, 2.5-4.3 L/min/m2, 50-100 mL/beat ). CO is affected by HR and SV.
Cardiac index relates the CO to the pt's BSA. Normal ranges are ( 2.5-4.3 L/min/m2, 4-8 L/min, 50-100 mL/beat ).
SV is the volume of blood ejected from the LV with each ventricular contraction. A healthy heart ejects more than half the total ventricular blood volume. Normal range is ( 50-100 mL/beat, 4-8 L/min, 2.5-4.3 L/min/m2 ). SV is affected by preload, afterload, and contractility.
