• moderate risk @ vigorous intensity: what/who is needed Answer: only
medical exam prior to exercise
• low risk @ moderate & vigorous intensity: what/who is needed
Answer: nothing
• moderate risk @ moderate intensity: what/who is needed Answer:
nothing
• which patients (risk stratified) can be supervised by non-physician
health care professionals if professionals are specifically trained in CET
& physician is readily/immediately available? Answer: all risk groups
can be; low risk can be supervised w/o physician immediately available
• who should have PFT's done? Answer: all smokers <45y.o & anyone
presenting with dyspnea
, • ECG monitoring during test Answer: recorded last 15secs of each stage
• BP monitoring during test Answer: measured/recorded last 45secs of
each stage
• HR monitoring during test Answer: recorded last 5secs of each stage
• ECG monitoring after test Answer: monitored continuously, recorded
immediately post exercise, during last 15secs of 1st minute then every 2
minutes thereafter

post exercise then every 2 minutes thereafter
• HR monitoring after test Answer: monitored continuously then
recorded during last 5secs of each minute
• technetium (tc) -99m Answer: comparison of rest & stress imaging
permits ID of fixed & reversible perfusion abnormalities as well as
differentiation; permits higher does with less radiation exposure;
preferred imaging agent
• thallum 201 Answer: circulates myocardium showing images of where
lack/inadequate blood flow is; shows images of inadequate perfusion
