Does decreased cardiac amount mean accumulation of blood to tissues/cells?
Does decreased cardiac amount mean accumulation of blood to tissues/cells?
I'm trying to understand cardiac output.
So, to my knowledge, decreased cardiac output = less blood being ejected by the heart/ventricles per minute, right?

What does that mean, specifically? Does that mean more blood is accumulated somewhere else? Like in the tissues/cells..lungs?

If blood is accumulated somewhere else...for example the kidneys ..doe
