Question

Short / Long type answer type questions.
How will an increase and decrease of cardiac output influence systolic blood pressure?

Answer 1

• Anything that decreases cardiac output, also decreases blood pressure, because there is less pressure on the vessel walls.
• An increase in cardiac output results in increased blood pressure.
• Cardiac Output $=$ Heart Rate $X$ Stroke Volume
• Anything that affects heart rate or stroke volume affects cardiac output and thus blood pressure.
