Calculating Several Cardiovascular Parameters

In this video, Kevin explains how to calculate various cardiovascular parameters using an example of an elite resistance training athlete. The parameters include pulse pressure, mean arterial pressure, stroke volume, ejection fraction, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance. Each calculation is demonstrated step-by-step, highlighting the significance of these measurements during intense physical activity.

What is the maximum weight the athlete can lift during the one RM deadlift?

• 550 pounds

• 500 pounds

• 400 pounds

• 450 pounds

What is the formula for calculating pulse pressure?

• Systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure

• Diastolic pressure minus systolic pressure

• Systolic pressure plus diastolic pressure

• Systolic pressure divided by diastolic pressure

How is mean arterial pressure calculated?

• Systolic pressure divided by three plus diastolic pressure

• Systolic pressure divided by two plus diastolic pressure

• Pulse pressure divided by three plus diastolic pressure

• Pulse pressure divided by two plus diastolic pressure

What is the stroke volume if the end diastolic volume is 350 ml and the end systolic volume is 70 ml?

• 280 ml

• 350 ml

• 300 ml

• 320 ml

What does the stroke volume represent?

• The amount of blood ejected by the ventricle per beat

• The blood pressure during exercise

• The total blood volume in the body

• The heart rate during exercise

How is the ejection fraction calculated?

• End systolic volume divided by stroke volume times 100%

• Stroke volume divided by end diastolic volume times 100%

• End diastolic volume divided by stroke volume times 100%

• Stroke volume divided by end systolic volume times 100%

What percentage of blood is ejected if the ejection fraction is 80%?

• 60%

• 90%

• 80%

• 70%

What is the formula for calculating cardiac output?

• Heart rate plus stroke volume

• Heart rate divided by stroke volume

• Heart rate times stroke volume

• Stroke volume divided by heart rate

How is total peripheral resistance calculated?

• Mean arterial pressure times cardiac output

• Cardiac output minus mean arterial pressure

• Cardiac output divided by mean arterial pressure

• Mean arterial pressure divided by cardiac output

What is the cardiac output if the heart rate is 170 bpm and the stroke volume is 280 ml?

• 45 liters per minute

• 50 liters per minute

• 47.6 liters per minute

• 48 liters per minute
