How Does Myocardial Ischemia Affect Cardiac Output?
How Does Myocardial Ischemia Affect Cardiac Output? Myocardial ischemia induces cardiac dysfunction, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to peripheral tissues and mismatched energy production during exercise. Does myocardial ischemia increase cardiac output? Specifically, before the myocardial ischemia/reperfusion and infarction protocol, cardiac output increased at rest from 9.6 ± 0.6 ml/min to 18.9 ± 0.9 ml/min
