31. Dehydration, infection, low blood oxygen, inadequate cardiac output and drugs can all bring it on. 32. The general effect is one of reduced cardiac output and increased strain on the heart. 33. LiDCO is short for : Lithium Dilution Cardiac Output . 34. Despite their relatively small size, the kidneys receive approximately 20 % of the cardiac output . 35. His work led to the development of the direct Fick method for measuring cardiac output . 36. You would expect ventricular diastole to decrease so you might expect cardiac output to remain constant. 37. Therefore, minimizing cardiac myostatin may improve cardiac output . 38. It is often suggested that venous return dictates cardiac output , effected through the Frank Starling mechanism. 39. Conditions associated with low cardiac output and high systemic vascular resistance can produce a dicrotic pulse. 40. Initially, diuretics lower blood pressure by decreasing cardiac output and reducing plasma and extracellular fluid volume.
