How can the change in posture affect on cardiac output ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Posture does affect: With standing, blood pressure drops a little, and this is augmented by an increased HR. Over, Cardiac output stays the same overall. However, in heart failure, output can drop with changes of position and exertion.
