Artero-venous difference of oxygen, cardiac output and stroke volume in function of the energy consumption

Summary

Artero-venous difference and cardiac output have been investigated on two healthy subjects at work and related to the oxygen consumption.

The A-V difference in oxygen has been found to be approximately a linear function of the energy consumption; cardiac output is, therefore, an hyperbolic function of metabolism.

Cardiac stroke volume increases somewhat with increasing metabolism: a further increase of metabolism, from ab. 1/3 of the maximum, takes place without a further increase of the stroke volume.
