ABSTRACT

Cardiac output can be estimated in two different ways from the data table, namely by the __________ or more approximately by the __________. Based on the oxygen data, the cardiac output of subject A was __________, while that of subject B was __________ and subject C was __________.The total peripheral resistance of subject B, namely __________ differed markedly from that of subject A, namely __________. Based on the above cardiac output values, and the fact that stroke volume is related to cardiac output by the relation stroke volume __________, the stroke volumes of the subjects were approximately __________ for subject A, __________ for subject B and __________ for subject C.There is an alternative way, however, to estimate the stroke volume from the data, namely using the relation stroke volume equals (approximately) __________.When applied to subjects A and B, this second method gave similar results to the first method, but when applied to subject C the stroke volume works out to be __________. Based on these results, it is likely that subject A fits the description __________, subject B fits the description __________ and subject C fits the description __________.
