| Ventricular Volumes | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Check your answers below. | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| With Venticlar volumes, if you have two volumes you can always solve for one unknown volume. This is basic algebra: SV = EDV - ESV
Stroke volume: Blood ejected from heart (left ventricle) per beat (the average is 60-80 ml/beat) EDV: End-diastolic volume (ventricle is filled) ESV: End-systolic volume (blood left in ventricle after ejection |

 |
||||||||
| Now, see if you can solve a few word questions with ventricular volumes. | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Now, check your answers below. | ||||||||

| Ejection Fraction Calculations | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Ejection fraction is solved by dividing Stroke Volume (SV) by End Diastolic Volume (EDV). Then, you multiply your calculation by 100 to get the percent. Ejection faction is presented in a percent. An average ejection fraction classification is 60% If the ejection fraction is higher than 60% then the classification is Above average If the ejection fraction is less than 60% then the classification is Below average. |
