NR 283 CHAPTER 12- CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERSList and describe the four ways to measure cardiac function. PAGE 228 Cardiac output the volume of blood ejected by a ventricle in one minute and depends on heart rate and stroke volume, the volume pumped from one ventricle in one contraction. Cardiac reserve the ability of the heart to increase output in response to increased demand. Preload the mechanical state of the heart at the end of diastole with the ventricles at their max volume. Afterload ...
