Dictionary » C » Cardiac output Cardiac outputCardiac output a measurement of the blood flow through the heart to the systemic (and pulmonary) circulation. Cardiac output is expressed as volume of blood per unit time or litres/minute. Cardiac output can be calculated using the fick method (oxygen consumption divided by arteriovenous oxygen difference) or by the thermodilution technique, using a swan-ganz catheter. ![]()

a problem about cardiac control... :roll: 1. Increased blood pressure is detected by stretch receptor or baroceptor?? 2.will increased CO2 concentration leads to the increased output of sympathetic nervous system to increase the heart rate? (I am confused about this because someone said it is not an actual mechanism as arterial ...
