ACO = EDV minus ESV
BCO = SV divided by HR
CCO = EDV plus the ESV
DCO = HR times the SV
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. CO = HR times the SV
1. Cardiac output measures the blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute.
2. It is calculated as heart rate multiplied by stroke volume.
3. EDV minus ESV gives stroke volume itself, one input to that product.
