Calculate the systemic vascular resistance (SVR)given the following measurements obtained during a hemodynamic study: pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)= 40/22 mm Hg,pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)= 12 mm Hg,blood pressure (BP)= 156/80 mm Hg,central venous pressure (CVP)= 19 mm Hg,cardiac output (C.O.)= 4.8 L/min,and heart rate (HR)= 68 beats/min.
A) 150 dyne × sec × cm⁻⁵
B) 267 dyne × sec × cm⁻⁵
C) 317 dyne × sec × cm⁻⁵
D) 1496 dyne × sec × cm⁻⁵
