An agent that causes an increase in stroke volume is known as a positive inotropic agent.

Explanation:

  • "Inotropic" refers to the force of muscle contractions, particularly in the heart.
  • A "positive inotropic" agent increases the strength of the heart's contractions, thereby increasing stroke volume.
  • Conversely, a "negative inotropic" agent would decrease the strength of the heart's contractions.

Therefore, the correct term to fill in the blanks is "positive inotropic."
