What Is the Stroke Volume?

Calculate stroke volume from end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes. The calculator is paired with the governing relationship so the numerical output stays connected to the concept you are studying.

Use this page to check worked examples, compare different inputs, and keep the meaning of each variable visible while practising.

Formula or Method

Formula / method
SV = EDV − ESV

Subtract end-systolic volume from end-diastolic volume to obtain stroke volume. Keep units and conventions consistent with the problem statement and with the options shown in the calculator.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Read the input labels and enter the values requested by the problem or exercise.
  2. Check units, signs, angle mode, population/sample options, or other settings before calculating.
  3. Compare the result with the displayed formula or method and the worked example below.

Worked Example

Example: EDV=120 mL and ESV=50 mL give SV=70 mL/beat.

Common Mistakes

Why It Matters for Students

The Stroke Volume is useful when a physiology or molecular/quantitative relationship needs a fast numerical check. Keep the input definitions and units visible while studying so the calculation remains tied to the underlying concept.

Stroke volume is derived from ventricular volume measurements. Measurement technique, timing and modality can affect the underlying EDV and ESV values.
