The amount of blood your heart pumps is called Cardiac Output (CO) and is typically measured in Liters Per Minute (LPM). Cardiac Output (LPM) = H.R. x S.V. / 1000 H.R. - Heart Rate (beats per minute) S.V. - Stroke Volume (mL) - the volume of blood pumped during one cardiac cycle Normal resting CO is in the range of 4-6 LPM (1-1.5 Gallons Per Minute - GPM). A highly conditioned endurance athlete may generate a CO of up to 30 LPM (7.5 GPM).
