How much blood is pumped by the heart?

As we all know, the heart is the strongest muscle in our body, and is also the most vital. The million dollar question is: how much blood does the heart pump?

The average human heart beats :

• 72 times a minute
• 100, 000 times a day
• 3, 600, 000 times a year
• 2.5 billion times a lifetime

• A healthy human heart pumps 2, 000 gallons of blood through 60, 000 miles of blood vessels every day.
• A kitchen faucet would need to be turned on all the way for at least 45 years to equal the amount of blood pumped in an average lifetime.
• The volume of blood pumped by the heart can range from five to 30 litres per minute.
• The heart creates enough energy, per day, to drive a truck 20 miles. That is equal to driving to the the moon and back in a lifetime.
• During an average lifetime, the heart will pump about 1.5 barrels of blood, which is enough to fill 200 train tank cars.
