Cardiac Study Report
The following details a cardiac lab report that will be assigned to each group. The cardiac lab report consists of two parts: calculations and evaluations of several cardiac patients and performing heart rates/ activity for the group.
I. Lab Report
You will be assigned a cardiac study. You will review essential cardiovascular data on 3 cardiac patients. You will perform and evaluate the cardiac health of the patients. Based upon the results of your data, you will evaluate the 3 patients as to their cardiac health. You 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, and interpret the heart rate for yourself and identify any trends. The report should be divided into two sections: one for evaluation of the 3 patients and their results and a second section for your own data on heart rate.
II. Calculations
A. Essential Cardiovascular Calculations
You will be given the following data on 3 (three) patients:
Systolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Left ventricular end diastolic volume
Left ventricular end systolic volume
Heart Rate
You will need to calculate the following for the patient data, include all formulas with these calculations:
- Calculate pulse pressure (use the following formula: Pulse Pressure = Systolic Blood Pressure –
Diastolic Blood Pressure) - 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)
- Calculate stroke volume (use the following formula: Stroke Volume = End Diastolic volume – End
Systolic Volume) - Calculate cardiac output (use the following formula: Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume X Heart Rate)
