Problem 35
In the late 1860 s, Adolf Fick, a professor of physiology in the Faculty of Medicine in Würzberg, Germany, developed one of the methods we use today for measuring how much blood your heart pumps in a minute. Your cardiac output as you read this sentence is probably about \(7 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min}\). At rest it is likely to be a bit under \(6 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min}\). If you are a trained marathon runner running a marathon, your cardiac output can be as high as \(30 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min}\). Your cardiac output can be calculated with the formula $$y=\frac{Q}{D}$$ where \(Q\) is the number of milliliters of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) you exhale in a minute and \(D\) is the difference between the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) concentration \((\mathrm{ml} / \mathrm{L})\) in the blood pumped to the lungs and the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) concentration in the blood returning from the lungs. With \(Q=233 \mathrm{ml} / \mathrm{min}\) and $$\begin{aligned}D=97-56 &=41 \mathrm{ml} / \mathrm{L} \\\y &=\frac{233 \mathrm{ml} / \mathrm{min}}{41 \mathrm{ml} / \mathrm{L}} \approx 5.68 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min}\end{aligned}$$ fairly close to the \(6 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min}\) that most people have at basal (resting) conditions. (Data courtesy of J. Kenneth Herd, M.D., Quillan College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University.) Suppose that when \(Q=233\) and \(D=41,\) we also know that \(D\) is decreasing at the rate of 2 units a minute but that \(Q\) remains unchanged. What is happening to the cardiac output?
