GlossaryCardiac Function

Cardiac function, also known as heart function or cardiac performance, refers to the ability of the heart to pump blood effectively throughout the body. It encompasses various parameters such as heart rate, stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped per beat), and cardiac output (the total volume of blood pumped per minute). Proper cardiac function is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products, ensuring overall bodily health and function.
