Overview
The Stroke Volume Calculator estimates stroke volume in mL per beat from cardiac output and heart rate using SV = CO × 1000 / HR. It also classifies the result as low, normal, or high based on the tool's reference ranges and is not medical advice.
When to use
Estimate stroke volume when cardiac output is recorded in L/min and heart rate is available.
Review hemodynamic measurements in clinical education, cardiology, or critical care contexts.
Check whether a calculated value falls below, within, or above the stated adult reference range of 60–100 mL per beat.
How it works
1Enter cardiac output in L/min.
2Enter heart rate in beats per minute.
3The calculator multiplies cardiac output by 1,000 and divides by heart rate.
4The result is returned in mL/beat with a category and the selected number of decimal places.
Use cases
Estimate stroke volume from thermodilution, Fick, or echocardiographic cardiac output measurements.
Compare stroke volume patterns associated with different heart rates during hemodynamic review.
Support physiology and cardiology teaching with a transparent, repeatable calculation.
Examples
1. Normal resting stroke volume
Medical student
Background
A medical student is reviewing a resting hemodynamic example with a cardiac output of 5 L/min and a heart rate of 72 bpm.
Problem
Calculate the volume ejected by the ventricle with each heartbeat and identify its category.
How to use
Enter CO as 5, heart rate as 72, and leave decimal places set to 2.
CO: 5 L/min; HR: 72 bpm; decimal places: 2
Outcome
The calculator returns 69.44 mL/beat and classifies it as normal stroke volume.
2. Low stroke volume with tachycardia
Critical care trainee
Background
A critical care trainee is reviewing a case with cardiac output of 4 L/min and a heart rate of 110 bpm.
Problem
Determine whether the calculated stroke volume is below the tool's normal adult range.
How to use
Enter CO as 4, heart rate as 110, and use 2 decimal places.
FAQ
What is the stroke volume formula?
Stroke volume is calculated as SV = CO × 1000 / HR, producing mL per beat.
What inputs are required?
You need cardiac output in L/min and heart rate in beats per minute.
What is the normal stroke volume range?
The tool uses 60–100 mL per beat as the normal adult range.
Can I control the number of decimal places?
Yes. You can set decimal places from 0 to 8; the default is 2.
Is this calculator medical advice?
No. It provides a calculation for reference and does not replace professional medical evaluation.
