In this episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike explore the factors that influence cardiac output (CO). This includes Heart Rate (HR) and Stroke Volume (SV). They explain the anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology that can alter these factors and talk about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, preload, after load, and contractility.
