Define a cardiac cycle and the cardiac output.
The proper cardiac cycle can produce a normal cardiac output per minute. The cardiac cycle is an average of 70 beats per minute with systole and diastole. Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped out to all the other organs from the heart. It is an important parameter to be monitoring blood flow. The cardiac output is the product of the heart and stroke volume. The cardiac output determines the oxygen delivery rate to the organs.
