HR X SV=CO CORRECT ANSWER HR X SV=CO 70 X 65= 4550 4.6 L/min What % of the cardiac cycle is provided by the atrial kick? • 15% • 20% • 30% • 35% CORRECT ANSWER 20% Atrial kick is a term that represents the amount of the total CO that is supplied via atrial contraction. If the pt has a condition or dysrhythmia that impairs or eliminates the atrial contraction, the pt may be compromised.
