Cardiac output (CO) describes the volume of blood being
pumped by the heart mainly by the left or right ventricle per unit time. And it
is the term which is commonly used in the cardiac physiology.
Cardiac output is the product of the heart rate, or the
number of heart beats per minute, and the stroke volume, which is the volume of
blood pumped from the ventricle per beat.
There is an equation for cardiac output:
CO= HR × SV.
Where HR is Heart rate, SV is stroke volume.
Cardiac output is measured in the values of L/min. Normally
for a healthy person the cardiac output rests at average of 5L/min, in which
approximately the HR is 70 beats/min, and SV would be approximately 70 mL.
Cardiac output is a global blood flow parameter of interest
in hemodynamics which is study of the flow of blood. The factors affecting
stroke volume and heart rate also affect cardiac output.
Related measurements of cardiac output are Ejection
fraction, cardiac input, cardiac index, and combined cardiac output.
