Find work of heart per one beat and (b) work of heart per day (24 hours). Suppose the stroke volume of blood 80 ml, average pressure 120 mmHg and average flow velocity of blood 30 cm/sec. For healthy individual pulse rate is 70 pulses per minute.
Shaiju T.
Calculate the power output of the heart if, in each heartbeat, it pumps 75 mL of blood at an average of 100 mmHg. Assume 65 heartbeats per minute.
Yuva S.
During each heartbeat, approximately 70 cm$^3$ of blood is pushed from the heart at an average pressure of 105 mm-Hg. Calculate the power output of the heart, in watts, assuming 70 beats per minute.
