Cardiorenal syndrome type I recovery following heart rate correction: Cardiac output is not only stroke volume

Abstract

Abstract Bradyarrhymias can result in low cardiac output state despite having a normal left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume. Because cardiac output is defined as the product of heart rate and stroke volume, a low cardiac output state caused by bradyarrhythmias may result in type I cardiorenal syndrome.
