This document discusses cardiovascular physiology, including definitions of cardiac output and its determinants like heart rate, contractility, preload, and afterload. It describes the Frank-Starling relationship and how contractility, preload, and the anatomy and physiology of the coronary circulation impact cardiac output. Autoregulation and the control of arterial blood pressure through immediate, intermediate, and long-term mechanisms are examined. Various cardiac reflexes involving the baroreceptor, chemoreceptor, and other reflexes are also outlined.
