Cardiac Study Report

Cardiac Study Report

The following details a cardiac lab report that will be assigned to each group. The cardiac lab report consists two parts: calculations and evaluations of several cardiac patients and performing heart rates/ activity for the group.

1. Lab Report

Your group will be assigned a TDCC cardiac study. You and the members of your group will review essential cardiovascular data on 5 cardiac patients. Your group will perform and evaluate the cardiac health of the patients and plot/graph their data. Based upon the results of your data, your group will evaluate the 5 patients as to their cardiac health. Your group will prepare a report that is 3+ pages in length, double-spaced. The report will detail the patients’ health and your interpretation of their test results. In addition, your group will conduct, record, graph, and interpret the heart rate for group members and identify any trends.

The report should be divided into two sections: one for evaluation of the 5 patients and their results and a second section for your own group data on heart rate.

1. Calculations
2. Essential Cardiovascular Calculations

You will be given the following data on 5 (five) patients:

Systolic Blood Pressure                                              Diastolic Blood Pressure

Left ventricular end diastolic volume             Left ventricular end systolic volume

Heart Rate

Cardiac Study Report

You will need to calculate the following for the patient data, include all formulas with these calculations:

1. Calculate pulse pressure (use the following formula: Pulse Pressure = Systolic Blood Pressure – Diastolic Blood Pressure) (EQ)
2. Calculate Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) (use the following formula: MAP = (Systolic Blood Pressure + 2(Diastolic Blood Pressure))/3) (example for BP of 120/70: MAP = (120 + 2(70))/3 = 86.67mmHg) (EQ)

2. Calculate stroke volume (use the following formula: Stroke Volume = End Diastolic volume – End Systolic Volume) (EQ)
3. Calculate cardiac output (use the following formula: Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume X Heart Rate) (EQ)
4. Graph cardiac output for the five patients as a function of Cardiac Output (Y-axis) vs. Patient Number (X-axis) (EQ)
