Stroke volume describes the amount of blood that is ejected with every heartbeat. Normal stroke volume is 55 to 100 ml/beat. Cardiac output describes the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle over 1 minute. Normal adult cardiac output is four to eight liters per minute. The formula for calculating cardiac output is: cardiac output = stroke volume multiplied by heart rate for 1 minute: 72 ml/ beat × 82 beats/ minute = 5904 mL/ minute.
