| Mechanisms that increase arterial oxygen content |
| Increased production of erythropoietin → hemoglobin synthesis |
| Rightward shift of oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve → increased O2 delivery |
| Mechanisms that increase cardiac output |
| Increased heart rate |
| Increased myocardial contractility |
| Decreased blood viscosity and decreased peripheral vascular resistance |
