Cardiac output is the volume of blood that your heart pumps per minute. With it being increased, it means that there is an increase in volume of blood that your heart pumps around the body.

Hope this helps with whatever you're doing - like PE BTEC...

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 does an increased or decreased cardiac output impact the body?

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.

What is cardiac reserve capacity?

The cardiac reserve capacity is the difference between the rate at which the heart pumps blood and its maximum capacity for pumping blood a any given time. It's the potential capacity of the heart to function well beyond its basal level.


Does Exercise benefit the cardiovascular system?

Yes. Cardiac output is increased by any form of aerobic exercise.


Which of the following would cause the greatest increase in cardiac output?

Increased heart rate and increased stroke volume


What would happen to cardiac output if the stroke volume increased and the heart rate stayed the same?

Since the stroke volume increased then the cardiac out put would increase, pumping out more blood with the same amount of heart beats.


Determined by heart rate x stroke volume?

cardiac output


What is the relationship between cardiac output and metabolic rate?

Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in a minute, while metabolic rate is the rate at which the body uses energy. The relationship between the two is that an increase in metabolic rate typically leads to an increase in cardiac output to meet the body's increased demand for oxygen and nutrients. Conversely, a decrease in metabolic rate may result in a decrease in cardiac output as the body requires less blood flow.


If resting cardiac output is six liters and maximum exercise cardiac output is sixteen liters what is the cardiac reserve?
