Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cardiac output is defined as the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, which is calculated as the product of stroke volume (the difference between end-diastolic volume and end-systolic volume) and heart rate. Therefore, option A correctly describes the calculation of cardiac output.
