Define the terms end diastolic volume (EDV) and end systolic volume (ESV) and relate them to the calculation of stroke volume

What will be an ideal response?


EDV is the amount of blood that collects in a ventricle during diastole. ESV is the volume of blood remaining in a ventricle after it has contracted. Stroke volume (ml/beat) equals EDV - ESV
