  2. Cardiac output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_output

    Major factors influencing cardiac output – heart rate and stroke volume, both of which are variable. [1]In cardiac physiology, cardiac output (CO), also known as heart output and often denoted by the symbols , ˙, or ˙, [2] is the volumetric flow rate of the heart's pumping output: that is, the volume of blood being pumped by a single ventricle of the heart, per unit time (usually measured ...

  3. Stroke volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_volume

    Stroke volume is an important determinant of cardiac output, which is the product of stroke volume and heart rate, and is also used to calculate ejection fraction, which is stroke volume divided by end-diastolic volume. Because stroke volume decreases in certain conditions and disease states, stroke volume itself correlates with cardiac function.

  4. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac output as shown on an ECG. Cardiac output (CO) is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle (stroke volume, SV) in one minute. To calculate this, multiply stroke volume (SV), by heart rate (HR), in beats per minute. [1] It can be represented by the equation: CO = HR x SV [1]

  5. Reflex bradycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex_bradycardia

    Cardiac output (CO) is affected by two factors, the heart rate (HR) and the stroke volume (SV), the volume of blood pumped from one ventricle of the heart with each beat (CO = HR × SV, therefore BP = HR × SV × TPR). In reflex bradycardia, blood pressure is reduced by decreasing cardiac output (CO) via a decrease in heart rate (HR). [citation ...

  6. Frank–Starling law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank–Starling_law

    Cardiac function curve.In diagrams illustrating the Frank–Starling law of the heart, the y-axis often describes the stroke volume, stroke work, or cardiac output.The x-axis often describes end-diastolic volume, right atrial pressure, or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.

  7. Cardiovascular physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_physiology

    Cardiac output (= heart rate * stroke volume. Can also be calculated with Fick principle, palpating method.) Stroke volume (= end-diastolic volume − end-systolic volume) Ejection fraction (= stroke volume / end-diastolic volume) Cardiac output is mathematically ` to systole [clarification needed] Inotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic states

  8. Heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart

    Cardiac output (CO) is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle (stroke volume) in one minute. This is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume (SV) by the beats per minute of the heart rate (HR). So that: CO = SV x HR. [8] The cardiac output is normalized to body size through body surface area and is called the cardiac ...

  9. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    CO = cardiac output (L/sec) SV = stroke volume (ml) HR = heart rate (bpm) The normal human cardiac output is 5-6 L/min at rest. Not all blood that enters the left ventricle exits the heart. What is left at the end of diastole (EDV) minus the stroke volume make up the end systolic volume (ESV). [13]
