The calculation formula is: Rate Pressure Product (RPP) = Heart Rate (HR) * Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) The units for the Heart Rate are beats per minute and for the Blood Pressure mmHg . Rate pressure product is a measure of the stress put on the cardiac muscle based on the number of times it needs to beat per minute (HR) and the arterial ...
Cardiac reserve refers to the difference between the rates at which the heart pumps blood - at any given time versus its maximum capacity. A measurement of the cardiac reserve may be a health indicator for some medical conditions. Cardiac reserve may be 4-5 times greater than a resting value for a healthy person.
The Karvonen method factors in resting heart rate (HR rest) to calculate target heart rate (THR), using a range of 50–85% intensity: [54] THR = ((HR max − HR rest) × % intensity) + HR rest. Equivalently, THR = (HR reserve × % intensity) + HR rest. Example for someone with a HR max of 180 and a HR rest of 70 (and therefore a HR reserve of ...
[citation needed] The heart rate formula most often used for the Bruce is the Karvonen formula (below). A more accurate formula, offered in a study published in the journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, is 206.9 - (0.67 x age) which can also be used to more accurately determine VO2 Max, but may produce significantly different results.
There are different ways to define CI. One common threshold is not being able to reach 80% of age-predicted maximal heart rate (APMHR), which is said to be 220 – age. Another definition is not being able to reach 80% of the expected heart rate reserve, that is, the difference between the individual's resting heart rate and APMHR. [1]

“The heart will pump what it receives”- Starling’s law of the heart. The Frank–Starling mechanism describes the ability of the heart to change its force of contraction (and, hence, stroke volume) in response to changes in venous return. In other words, if the end-diastolic volume increases, there is a corresponding increase in stroke ...
This technique is less helpful for estimating right ventricular preload because it is difficult to calculate the volume in an asymmetrical chamber. [2] In cases of rapid heart rate, it can be difficult to capture the moment of maximum fill at the end of diastole, which means the volume may be difficult to measure in children or during ...
