Formulas:

Cardiac Output (CO) = Heart Rate × Stroke Volume
Cardiac Index (CI) = Cardiac Output ÷ Body Surface Area
Normal CO: 4.0-8.0 L/min
Normal CI: 2.5-4.0 L/min/m²

Clinical Classifications:

Low CO (<4.0 L/min): Heart failure, cardiogenic shock
Normal CO (4.0-8.0 L/min): Adequate circulation
High CO (>8.0 L/min): Hyperdynamic state, fever, sepsis
Low CI (<2.5 L/min/m²): Severe cardiac dysfunction

Clinical Applications:

Cardiac output assessment is crucial for hemodynamic monitoring, heart failure management, and critical care decision making.

Cardiac index normalizes for body size and is preferred for comparing cardiac function between patients of different sizes.
