For example, if the stroke volume at rest is 70 cm 3 and the heart rate is 70 bpm, then the cardiac output is 70 × 70 cm 3 per minute = 4900 cm 3 per minute.

This is called cardiac output. To calculate cardiac output, we also need to know about heart rate and stroke volume.

Two patients died during the course of these studies, and during the subsequent closed-chest cardiac massage, cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters were determined.

The LIFEGARD ICG provides continuous cardiac output by measuring the ICG (impedance cardiogram) to calculate cardiac output.
