a) 4-8 L/min

b) 800-1500 dynes $\times$ sec $\times$ cm^-5

c) 60-130 mL

d) 2-8 mm Hg

e) 20-120 dynes $\times$ sec $\times$ cm^-5

f) 9-18 mm Hg

g) 30-65 mL/beat/m²

h) 80 mm Hg

i) 2.5-4.2 L/min/m²

j) 4-12 mm Hg

k) 40-60 g m/m²

l) 7-12 g m/m²

Introduction:

Stroke volume index is defined as the volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle in every beat. It can be applied to both the ventricles of the heart. Stroke volume index is affected by severe exercise.
