What will happen if cardiac output decreases?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cardiac Output: This is the amount of blood the heart pumps. If it decreases but is still adequate for the demands of the body, nothing much will happen. If it decreases below the metabolic demands of the body, organ dysfunction and shock will occur if the output level is low enough.
