Estimate cardiac output and cardiac index from oxygen content and Fick-method inputs.
Change the inputs that matter to your decision. Optional assumptions stay collapsed until you need them.
Use measured VO₂ for a direct estimate or body measurements for the indirect educational model.
Use measured values with their clinical units.
Normal output and normal cardiac index against broad reference ranges.
Typical reference ranges are about 4–8 L/min for output and 2.5–4.0 L/min/m² for index. Interpretation belongs with a qualified clinician and the source measurements.
BSA used in the indirect method: 1.91 m². This educational calculation cannot diagnose heart failure, shock, or another condition.
Other tools in health.
Estimate body mass index from height and weight, with adult screening category context.
Estimate energy expenditure from activity, body weight, and duration using MET values.
Estimate aerobic capacity from a heart-rate ratio or a timed running effort.
