A member asked:
Why must stroke volume for both ventricles be the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stroke volume (SV): The left and right sided chambers of your heart are like 2 pumps. All the volume from the first pump should be equal to what's used in the second. Too little blood=anemia, Smaller SV in one pump suggests a leak (shunt) versus bad pump (heart failure). Your body is always fighting to maintain a balance. When balance is disrupted, that is often when you feel ill.
