What Stroke Volume is and How to Calculate it

Leslie Samuel introduces episode 49 of Interactive Biology TV, focusing on stroke volume and its calculation. He expresses gratitude to viewers and explains heart function, including systole, diastole, end diastolic volume (EDV), and end systolic volume (ESV). A graph is used to illustrate these concepts, and the stroke volume is calculated as the difference between EDV and ESV. The episode concludes with a mention of additional resources available on the website.
