Stroke volume Heart rate Cardiac output During exercise The pulse The trained heart
HAND IN HOMEWORK
Cardiac Dynamics
Heart performance dependent on 2 variables: 1. STROKE VOLUME (SV) 2. HEART RATE (HR)
ACTIVITY 1 ANSWERS
1. Amount of blood pumped out of heart in 1 beat
Venous return: volume of blood returning to R atrium Elasticity of cardiac fibres: amount of stretch in cardiac tissue just before contraction Contractility of cardiac tissue: more contractility = greater force of contraction
What does HR represent (give a definition)? What is the average HR of an adult human? What happens to HR in a trained heart? What is it called when you have a slower resting HR than normal? What is cardiac output? How do you measure it (equation)? What is the average stroke volume? Using this equation, calculate Cardiac Output for average person at rest 30 minutes Feedback to class

blood into aorta) per minute Average HR = 72bpm Training Bradycardia Volume of blood pumped from 1 ventricle in 1 min, usually measured from LV Equal to product of stroke volume & HR: Cardiac Output (Q) = Stroke Volume (SV) x Heart Rate (HR) 75ml Q = 75ml (SV) x 72bpm (HR) = 5400ml/min OR 5.4l/min
