Abstract
Using the acetylene method the cardiac output of a single individual was observed in the recumbent, sitting and standing positions. During the winter season in the standing position high AV differences were usually associated with high oxygen consumption; in the summer this relationship was reversed. The average standing cardiac output was lower than that of the recumbent or sitting positions. The output was influenced by various undefined environmental factors under so called basal conditions particularly if the subject was standing.
