Definitions for "Cardiac output"
Keywords:  ejects, ventricle, pumps, min, minute
Cardiac output (CO) is the rate at which blood is ejected from the heart, and is identical to the product of heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV). CO= (HR x SV)
The volume of blood, measured in liters, ejected by the heart per minute. Cardiac output is determined by multiplying the heart rate and the stroke volume.
The volume of blood pumped by the heart each minute. The amount of cardiac output equals the volume of blood ejected with each heart beat (or stroke volume) multiplied by the heart rate.
