Final answer:
The cardiac output can be calculated by multiplying the heart rate by the stroke volume. In this case, the cardiac output is 4,900 ml/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cardiac output (CO) is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute. To calculate this value, multiply stroke volume (SV), the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle, by heart rate (HR), in contractions per minute (or beats per minute, bpm). The formula for cardiac output is CO = HR x SV.
In this case, the heart rate is 70 bpm and the stroke volume is 70 ml/bpm. Therefore, the cardiac output can be calculated as follows:
CO = 70 bpm x 70 ml/bpm = 4,900 ml/min
