Sentences with phrase «maintain cardiac output»

Since the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute (cardiac output) is the product of the amount of blood ejected per contraction (stroke volume) and the heart rate in beats per minute, this decreased chamber volume (and subsequent stroke volume) results in an increased heart rate (tachycardia) as a reflex mechanism to maintain cardiac output and blood pressure.

The researchers noted that this would «normally trigger a compensatory increase in [heart rate to maintain cardiac output], but it did not.»

Not exact matches

A low cardiac output should be maintained in order to reduce thrombosis and endothelial damage and facilitate lung repair.
