Venous return is affected by several factors including muscle contraction, respiratory activity and gravity. Decreased venous compliance and vena cava compression also influence venous return. Other factors include valve competence, heartbeat, intrapericardial pressure, blood volume and degree of filling systematic circulation.
Along with stroke volume (SV), cardiac output is a global blood flow parameter of interest in hÃ¦modynamics â the study of the flow of blood under external forces.

A detailed hierarchical illustration is provided in a subsequent figure.
