(GB):

 I. (noun) 

Sense 1

Meaning:

The amount of blood pumped out by the ventricles in a given period of time

Example:

a resting adult has a cardiac output of about three quarts a minute

Classified under:

Nouns denoting time and temporal relations

Hypernyms ("cardiac output" is a kind of...):

 Context examples: 

The result is a decrease in resting and exercise heart rates, cardiac output, and in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, thereby resulting in vasodilation, and negative chronotropic and inotropic cardiac effects.

(Labetalol, NCI Thesaurus)

Isoproterenol exerts its effect on the beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the myocardium, thereby increasing heart rate and cardiac output.

(Isoproterenol, NCI Thesaurus)

Esmolol hydrochloride competitively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in cardiac muscle and reduces the contractility and cardiac rate of heart muscle, thereby decreasing cardiac output and myocardial oxygen demands.

(Esmolol Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)

Hemorrhage decreases the mean systemic filling pressure, therefore decreasing venous return; as a result, the cardiac output falls below normal, and shock ensues.

(Hemorrhagic Shock, NIH CRISP Thesaurus)

Devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, bisoprolol selectively and competitively binds to and blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, decreasing cardiac contractility and rate, reducing cardiac output, and lowering blood pressure.

(Bisoprolol Fumarate, NCI Thesaurus)

An electrocardiographic finding of the presence of cardiac electrical rhythm without a proper response of the myocardial tissue and mechanical cardiac output.

(Electromechanical Dissociation by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus)

The S enantiomer of carvedilol nonselectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, thereby exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, and leading to a reduction in cardiac output.

(Carvedilol phosphate, NCI Thesaurus)

Carvedilol is a racemic mixture; the S(-) enantiomer non-selectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, leading to a reduction in cardiac output.

(Carvedilol Phosphate Extended-Release Capsule, NCI Thesaurus)

This leads to an increase in heart rate and force and results in an increase in cardiac output.

(Dobutamine Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)

As a result, it leads to a positive inotropic effect and increases in cardiac output.

(Dobutamine Tartrate, NCI Thesaurus)
