THE OUTPUT OF THE HEART IN PATIENTS WITH ABNORMAL BLOOD PRESSURES

Abstract

In 2 groups of cases, one with systolic blood pressures of over 175 mm. of Hg and one with systolic blood pressures of less than 95 mm. of Hg, the total cardiac output per min., the cardiac output per min. per kgm. of body weight and the cardiac output per 100 cc. of O2 absorbed did not show significant differences. Pulse pressure and output per beat are not directly proportional in different individuals.
