©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Blood pressure algorithm Arterial blood pressure is the product of cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. Cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected by the heart each minute; it is the product of heart rate and stroke volume. The stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected by the ventricles with each contraction; it is affected by myocardial contractility, preload, and afterload.
