A patient with a rapid heart rate may have decreased cardiac output because....

• the heart muscles become agitated and pump an excessive amount of blood

• the heart muscles become tired and are unable to pump as much blood

• the ventricles are filled with too much blood, so stroke volume would increase

• the ventricles do not have enough time to refill with blood, so stroke volume decreases

When the regular delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cell is disrupted, the patient is in a state of....

• cardiac arrest
