Yes, cardiac output refers to the volume of blood that the heart pumps per minute, specifically from the ventricles. It is typically measured as the product of stroke volume (the amount of blood ejected with each heartbeat) and heart rate. The left ventricle is primarily responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to the body, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
