because your muscles are working so much harder, they need more oxygen, and also produce more waste products. Your cardiac output increases so that the blood is pumped around the body faster to provide the oxygen required and remove any waste.

What does cardiac output do if the heart rate decreases?

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


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.


Determined by heart rate x stroke volume?

cardiac output


What hormone increases heart rate and force of contraction?

Cardiac output is defined by the equation HR (heart rate) x SV (stroke volume). Anything that increases either of these will increase the cardiac output. Increasing heart rate: exercise, anxiety, caffeine, amphetamines, cocaine, other medications Increasing stroke volume: certain medications (digoxin, etc), lower heart rates


Which statement is correct about cardiac output?

cardiac output is heart rate multiplied by stroke volume,


Why do athletes have a higher cardiac output?

regular aerobic exercise strengthens heart muscles which increases stroke volume (the volume of blood ejected with each contraction). since cardiac output = stroke volume * heart rate, this ultimately increases cardiac output.


What is the normal compensatory response to a decreased cardiac contractility often seen in myocardial infarction?

Increase in heart rate as Cardiac Output = Heart rate x Stroke volume. As SV will be decreased, HR increases to compensate.


What happens if stroke volume increases?

If stroke volume increases, more blood is pumped out of the heart with each contraction. This results in an increase in cardiac output, which is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. An increase in stroke volume can also lead to a drop in heart rate to maintain overall cardiac output.


How is cardiac output calculated?

Cardiac output is calculated by multiplying the heart rate (number of heartbeats per minute) by the stroke volume (amount of blood ejected by the heart with each beat). The formula is: Cardiac output = Heart rate x Stroke volume.


What does heart rate and stroke volume determine?

cardiac output


What is the formula for calculating cardiac output?

CO=HRXSV, Where HR is heart rate and SV is stroke volume


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.
