Decreased cardiac output can occur as a result of a heart problem, endocrine (hormonal) dysfunction, and certain medications. Sudden changes in cardiac output can cause a sudden drop in blood ...

resulting in impaired right ventricular filling eventually causing decreased cardiac output and hypotension. "Pulsus paradoxus," which is present in cardiac tamponade, reflects a decrease in ...

This is a compensatory mechanism since increased right atrial pressures frequently result from elevated left heart pressures from decreased cardiac output. Elevating the heart rate should increase ...

Sodium and water retention is not necessarily due to decreased cardiac output, since there are high output states that also cause edema, such as severe anemia, thyrotoxicosis, chronic ...
