Calculate the Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)given the Following Measurements Obtained

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.
