This can be expressed simply as "less in, less out". The less blood in the system means that there will be less to be pumped out. This can be a dangerous situation where someone has lost a lot of blood. Some way to stop the loss is immediately necessary and a transfusion may be also required when it can be done.
Decreasing stroke volume leads to compensatory mechanisms such as increasing heart rate (pump rate) in order to maintain cardiac output. This relationship is known as the Frank-Starling mechanism, where the heart adjusts its pumping rate to accommodate changes in stroke volume.
cardiac output
cardiac output is heart rate multiplied by stroke volume,
Cardiac output = heart rate X stroke volume Thus, if the heart rate decreases so will the cardiac output, assuming the stroke volume is constant.
A decrease or increase of cardiac output in the body can result to several health problems depending on the body's health conditions. A stroke is prevalent if there is an increase of cardiac output that cannot be handled by the system. Lack of oxygen in the brain is an effect of a decrease cardiac output on the other hand.
Lowers stroke volume
Cardiac Output is computed as your heart rate times your stroke volume (volume of blood ejected from the heart each beat). The main contributor when exercising is an acceleration in heart rate. Stroke volume can be increased, but only by prolonged aerobic training. To answer your Q, HR as has the main effect on cardiac output during the first stages of exercise.**The first few stages of cardiac exercise will 'affect' cardiac output, not 'effect' it. If you don't know the difference between the two, you should not be asking a question such as this...
No, cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one beat, while cardiac output is the total amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. Typically, cardiac output is larger than stroke volume due to the inclusion of heart rate in the calculation.
Cardiac output is the blood volume pushed out by the left ventricle per minute. Stroke volume is the volume of blood pushed out of the left ventricle per contraction of the heart (each heart beat). So stroke volume into heart rate / minute gives you cardiac output.
It's decreased ... unless the rate falls, which is the normal cardiac response.
CO=HRXSV, Where HR is heart rate and SV is stroke volume
