Thus, if the heart rate decreases so will the cardiac output, assuming the stroke volume is constant.

Determined by heart rate x stroke volume?
cardiac output
Which statement is correct about cardiac output?
cardiac output is heart rate multiplied by stroke volume,
What decreases cardiac output without change in heart rate PAWP or SVR Is it preload afterload or contractility?
A change in cardiac output without any change in the heart rate, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP = equated to preload) or systemic vascular resistance (SVR = afterload) would have to be due to a change in the contractility of the heart. Cardiac output (CO) is roughly equal to stroke volume x heart rate. Stroke volume is related to preload, contractility, and afterload. As you can see, the only variables you have not controlled for is cardiac contractility.
What is the formula for calculating cardiac output?
CO=HRXSV, Where HR is heart rate and SV is stroke volume
What does heart rate and stroke volume determine?
cardiac output
What is cardiac-output?
Cardiac output is the volume of blood the heart pumps within one minute. Cardiac output (CO) is equal to the stroke volume (SV) of the heart multiplied by the heart rate (HR). Thus, cardiac output is given by the equation: CO=HR X SV.
What can decrease the cardiac output?
The cardiac output can be decreased by decreasing the force of contraction of the ventricular myocardium and decreasing the heart rate.
What is cardic output?
Cardiac out put is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute. Cardiac output is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. The heart rate is simply the number of heart beats per minute. The stroke volume is the volume of blood, in milliliters pumped out of the heart with each beat. Increasing either heart rate or stroke volume increases cardiac output.
Does the cardiac output equal heart rate multiplied by stroke volume?
Yes. CO = HR x SV CO - cardiac output HR - heart rate SV - stroke volume
What is the effect rest has on Cardiac output?
Rest has a positive effect on cardiac output. This will promote a healthy heart rate in an individual without subjecting the heart to too much pressure.
What is the difference between stroke volume and cardiac output?
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.
How is cardiac output calculated?
It's the stroke volume times the heart rate.
