Divide mileage by fuel usage to see your car's fuel consumption. This tells you how many miles you drove per gallon of gas. For example, if you drove 335 miles before refueling, and you filled your car up with 12 gallons of gas, your fuel consumption was 27.9 miles per gallon, or mpg (335 miles / 12 gallon = 27.9 mpg).
Failure on the left side is linked to a general weakening of the heart muscle. This is the more common type of heart failure. The weakened heart muscle no longer can keep up with the demands of the body for oxygen-rich blood. Back-up into the lungs occurs. Symptoms of left-side heart failure include: 1  Tiredness (fatigue). 2  Shortness of breath. 3  Asthma-like wheezing.
The heart does not pump all the blood out of the ventricle. Normally, only about two-thirds of the blood in the ventricle is put out with each beat. What blood is actually pumped from the left ventricle is the stroke volume and it, together with the heart rate, determines the cardiac output. It is known as stroke volume. <br /> <br /> Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped by the right/left ventricle of the heart in one contraction.
