Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Cardiac output can be defined as the amount of blood, which is pumped by the heart through the circulatory system in one minute. It can be deduced by taking the product of the heart rate and the stroke volume. A normal adult’s cardiac output is 4.7 liters of blood per minute.
