If a patient has a blood pressure of 120/80, what would the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) be? (Note, MAP = DP+(PP/3), PP=SP-DP)
- A.
120
- B.
80
- C.
93.33
- D.
133.33
Correct Answer
C. 93.33Explanation
The Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is calculated by adding one-third of the Pulse Pressure (PP) to the Diastolic Pressure (DP). The Pulse Pressure is obtained by subtracting the Systolic Pressure (SP) from the Diastolic Pressure (DP). In this case, the DP is 80 and the PP is 120-80=40. Therefore, one-third of 40 is 13.33. Adding 13.33 to 80 gives a MAP of 93.33.Rate this question:

If a patient has a blood pressure of 97/60, what would the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) be? (Note, MAP = DP+(PP/3), PP=SP-DP)
- A.
60
- B.
109.33
- C.
97
- D.
72.33
Correct Answer
D. 72.33Explanation
To calculate the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) using the formula MAP = DP + (PP/3), where DP is the diastolic pressure and PP is the pulse pressure (systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure):
Given: Diastolic Pressure (DP) = 60 mmHg Systolic Pressure (SP) = 97 mmHg
Pulse Pressure (PP) = SP - DP = 97 - 60 = 37 mmHg
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
MAP = DP + (PP/3) = 60 + (37/3) ≈ 60 + 12.33 ≈ 72.33 mmHg
So, the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) would be approximately 72.33 mmHg. Therefore, the correct answer is 72.33.Rate this question:

A patient has a heart rate of 65bpm and a stroke volume(SV) of 70ml, what would the cardiac output (CO)? (Note: CO=SV*HR, 1000ml = 1L)
- A.
4550L/minute
- B.
4.55L/minute
- C.
45.50L/minute
- D.
5.2L/minute
Correct Answer
B. 4.55L/minuteExplanation
The cardiac output (CO) is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume (SV) by the heart rate (HR). In this case, the SV is given as 70ml and the HR is given as 65bpm. To calculate the CO, we multiply 70ml by 65bpm. Since 1000ml is equal to 1L, we convert the result to liters by dividing by 1000. Therefore, the cardiac output is 4.55L/minute.Rate this question:

A patient has a heart rate of 78bpm and a stroke volume(SV) of 80ml, what would the cardiac output (CO)? (Note: CO=SV*HR, 1000ml = 1L)
- A.
5.92L/minute
- B.
7.8L/minute
- C.
6.24L/minute
- D.
1.22L/minute
Correct Answer
C. 6.24L/minuteExplanation
The cardiac output (CO) is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume (SV) by the heart rate (HR). In this case, the SV is given as 80ml and the HR is given as 78bpm. To find the CO, we need to convert the SV to liters by dividing it by 1000 (1L = 1000ml). Therefore, the SV becomes 0.08L. Multiplying the SV (0.08L) by the HR (78bpm), we get a CO of 6.24L/minute.Rate this question:

A patient has a heart rate of 45bpm and a stroke volume(SV) of 59ml, what would the cardiac output (CO)? (Note: CO=SV*HR, 1000ml = 1L)
- A.
2.66L/minute
- B.
2650L/minute
- C.
6.22L/minute
- D.
1.33L/minute
Correct Answer
A. 2.66L/minuteExplanation
The cardiac output is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume (SV) by the heart rate (HR). In this case, the stroke volume is given as 59ml and the heart rate is given as 45bpm. To find the cardiac output, we multiply these two values together. 59ml * 45bpm = 2655ml/minute. However, the question asks for the answer in liters, so we divide the result by 1000 to convert milliliters to liters. 2655ml/minute / 1000 = 2.655L/minute. Rounding to two decimal places, the cardiac output is approximately 2.66L/minute.Rate this question:

A patient has a stroke volume(SV) of 66ml and an EDV(End Diastolic Volume) of 116ml. What is the ESV(End Systolic Volume)? (Note: EDV=ESV+SV, so ESV = ?)
- A.
66ml
- B.
50ml
- C.
182ml
- D.
1.8L
Correct Answer
B. 50mlExplanation
The correct answer is 50ml. The equation EDV = ESV + SV is used to calculate the end systolic volume (ESV). Given that the stroke volume (SV) is 66ml and the end diastolic volume (EDV) is 116ml, we can rearrange the equation to solve for ESV. Subtracting SV from EDV gives us ESV = EDV - SV, which equals 116ml - 66ml = 50ml. Therefore, the end systolic volume is 50ml.Rate this question:

Stroke Volume X Heart Rate =
- A.
Cardiac Output
- B.
Cardiac Cycle
- C.
Blood Pressure
- D.
Pulse Pressure
Correct Answer
A. Cardiac OutputExplanation
The equation Stroke Volume X Heart Rate = Cardiac Output is a fundamental equation in cardiovascular physiology. Stroke volume refers to the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction, while heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. Cardiac output is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is determined by multiplying stroke volume by heart rate. Therefore, the correct answer is Cardiac Output.Rate this question:

Length of the cardiac cycle if the heart rate is 70
- A.
0.3seconds
- B.
0.7seconds
- C.
1.2seconds
- D.
0.8seconds
Correct Answer
D. 0.8secondsExplanation
The length of the cardiac cycle is determined by the heart rate, which is the number of times the heart beats per minute. In this case, the heart rate is given as 70 beats per minute. To calculate the length of the cardiac cycle, we divide 60 (seconds in a minute) by the heart rate. Therefore, 60/70 ≈ 0.857 seconds, which is closest to 0.8 seconds.Rate this question:

- D.
1.8seconds
Correct Answer
A. 0.63secondsExplanation
The length of the cardiac cycle is determined by the heart rate, which is the number of times the heart beats per minute. In this case, the heart rate is given as 95 beats per minute. To calculate the length of the cardiac cycle, we divide 60 seconds (1 minute) by the heart rate. So, 60/95 = 0.63 seconds. This means that each cardiac cycle lasts for approximately 0.63 seconds when the heart rate is 95 beats per minute.Rate this question:

How long would the diastole portion of the cardiac cycle be if the heart rate is 78bpm? (Note, Systole is always .3seconds)
- A.
1.3seconds
- B.
0.47seconds
- C.
0.3seconds
- D.
0.71seconds
Correct Answer
B. 0.47secondsExplanation
The diastole portion of the cardiac cycle refers to the relaxation phase of the heart. The systole phase is always 0.3 seconds, so to calculate the duration of diastole, we need to subtract the systole phase from the total duration of one cardiac cycle. The total duration of one cardiac cycle can be calculated by dividing 60 seconds (1 minute) by the heart rate, which is 78 beats per minute. So, 60/78 equals approximately 0.77 seconds. Subtracting the systole phase of 0.3 seconds from this total duration gives us 0.47 seconds, which is the duration of the diastole portion of the cardiac cycle.Rate this question:

ESV
Correct Answer
D. ESVExplanation
EDV stands for End-Diastolic Volume, which is the volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole, or relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle. ESV, on the other hand, stands for End-Systolic Volume, which is the volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of systole, or contraction phase of the cardiac cycle. Therefore, EDV is found by adding the ESV to the Stroke Volume (SV), which is the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during systole.Rate this question:
