or --- just the amount of blood that the heart pumps in a minute.

What are the two components of cardiac output?
Cardiac output is the actual amount of blood being pumped by the heart. The stroke volume of the heart determine the amount of work done by the heart.
What is the cardiac output during fibrillation?
I believe it's 0
How is cardiac output calculated?
It's the stroke volume times the heart rate.
Cardiac output is determined by?
In reality, if you are NOT in cardiac failure, by the venous return. According to most books its the stroke volume times the rate - but stroke volume is not an independent variable.
How would a weak heart affect the movement of blood through the body?
At rest, not at all. BUT there would be less of an increase in cardiac output during exertion - which results in quick fatigue and lowered (maximum) activity.
Does cardiac output affect urine output?
Certainly. Decrease cardiac output would mean a decreased in blood flow to the kidneys, which would lead to reduced filtration, therefore urine output.
What effect does stimulation of the acetylcholine receptors of the heart have on cardiac output?
The effect would be an increase in cardiac output. However, there is a maximum level and then the heart would not have time to fill fully and the output would decrease.

Amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 min?
cardiac output :)
How would acute coronary syndrome effect cardiac output?
I will decrease cardia output
Would an increase in contractility cause an increase to cardiac output?
Yes - an increase in contractility would lead to an increase in stroke volume. An increased stroke volume would cause an increased cardiac output.
How would a decrease in blood volume affect both stroke volume and cardiac output?
It's decreased ... unless the rate falls, which is the normal cardiac response.
Determined by heart rate x stroke volume?
cardiac output
If resting cardiac output is six liters and maximum exercise cardiac output is sixteen liters what is the cardiac reserve?
10 liters
Which statement is correct about cardiac output?
cardiac output is heart rate multiplied by stroke volume,
What compensations does the body have to do to defend cardiac output if you hemorrhage?
what compensations does the body have to do to defend cardiac output
How much blood returns to the heart?
cardiac output
