This was a tough questions. But here is how i solved it.
A) First you have to figure out what is your STROKE VOLUME (SV)?
- SV = End Diastolic Volume - End Systolic Volume
-- End Diastolic Volume means: The amount of blood in the ventricle after its filled up all the way at the END of diastole and BEFORE any blood is pumped out from the ventricle. which would be the HIGHEST number " 148 cm3".
-- End Systolic Volume means: The amount of blood that is (REMAINING) in the ventricle AFTER the ventricle has pumped out some amount of blood during systole. which would be the SMALLEST number "55 cm3"
SV = (148 cm3) - (55 cm3) ----> SV = 93 cm3
B) Heart Rate: Question states that the figure provided is for ONE cardiac cycle which is the same thing saying "One Heart Rate". but since it is in "Seconds" you have to convert it to "Minute".
HR= ( X / 0.7sec ) x ( 60sec / 1min) = 60/0.7 ----> HR= 86 beats/Min
C) Now just plugin the numbers in your Cardiac Output formula and thats it.
CO = SV x HR -----> CO = (93 cm3) x ( 86 beats/min) ------> CO= 7998 cm3/min
I hope this is correct :)
