Worked Example: Clinical / Physiology Scenario: Cardiac Output & Index (CI)
Compute Cardiac Output (L/min), Cardiac Index (L/min/m²), and Systemic Vascular Resistance (dyn·s/cm⁵).
- Enter lab values, anthropometric measurements, or performance test metrics.
- Evaluate the reference equation: CO_L_min = (HR × SV_mL) / 1000; CI = CO / BSA_m²; SVR = 80 × (MAP − CVP) / CO.
- Inspect the primary classification, supporting indices, and 3 SVG charts.
Result: Computes Cardiac Output & Index (CI) via CO_L_min = (HR × SV_mL) / 1000; CI = CO / BSA_m²; SVR = 80 × (MAP − CVP) / CO.

Cardiac Output (CO), Stroke Volume (SV), Cardiac Index (CI) & SVR Hemodynamics Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Compute Cardiac Output (L/min), Cardiac Index (L/min/m²), and Systemic Vascular Resistance (dyn·s/cm⁵).
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Heart Rate Bpm: Heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).
- Stroke Volume Ml: Left ventricular Stroke Volume (SV) in mL/beat.
- Body Surface Area M2: Patient Body Surface Area (BSA) in m².
- Mean Arterial Pressure Mm Hg: Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) in mmHg.
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Cardiac Output (CO) is 5.33 L/min. The calculation follows Cardiac Output & Index (CI) Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Heart Rate Bpm from 72 bpm to 79.2 bpm changes Cardiac Output (CO) from 5.33 L/min to 5.86 L/min. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses peer-reviewed clinical and sports physiology formulas.
- For educational and informational reference only; clinical scores do not replace physician judgment or laboratory reference ranges.
Scope: Global Clinical & Sports Science Consensus Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
