How much blood does the heart pump per day?

Answer 1

The heart pumps the equivalent of 5,000 to 6,000 quarts of blood each day. Source: http://www.smm.org/heart/heart/top.html Most of those asking this question, and most sources of the answer, refer to the quantity in terms of gallons or liters. Using the same source listed above, here is a more useful and appropriate answer: An adult heart pumps about 6,000-7,500 liters (1,500-2,000 gallons) of blood daily.

Answer 2

Average cardiac output is 5 liters per min.

so about 7200 liters per day.
5 litres per minute = 300 litres per hour = 7200 litres per day. During excercise this can increase to 30 litres per minute = 1800 litres per hour = 43,200 per day but this would not be sustainable.

Answer 3

The body has approximately 5 litres of blood. The cardiac output would need to be calculated to get an accurate answer, but in an adult it is of the order of 300 litres.

Answer 4

Your hear pumps about 5 liters of blood per minute. So 5*60*24 liters is your answer.

Answer 5

For the average adult at least 5,000 quarts of blood per day!
