Cardiac output is determined, in large part, by the venous return of blood to the heart. Various adrenergic and pharmacologic influences affect venous return. In the dog it appears that the liver may play an important role in the control of blood flow from the splanchnic to the central circulation and, hence, in the control of venous return.
