Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Cardiac output would increase through either an increase in heart rate or a rise in stroke volume.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Cardiac output is the result of the cardiac cycle in one minute i.e. the volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. It is given by the formula:

Cardiac output = Stroke volume X Heart rate

Hence, it is dependent on both the given factors.

So, the correct option is 'True'.
