CCT Exam Questions with 100% Correct Answers Latest Graded A+
Question:
Ergometer
Answer:
an apparatus that measures work or energy expended during a period of physical exercise.
Question:
Treadmill
Answer:
- Speeds ranging from 1 - 8 mph
- Incline ranging from 0%-20%
Question:
Indicatations of cardiovascular disease
Answer:
-Changes in the J-point & ST segment
-Mets < 6.5
-Duration < 6 minutes
-Low peak HR
-Maintaining a low systolic BP
-Severe ST depression
-Prolonged ST depression
Question:
Cardiolite
Answer:
-AKA radioactive technetium
,-assesses the volume of blood pumped with each heartbeat
-labels the red blood cells
-ability to count the number of red blood cells that pass through each chamber over several
heartbeats
-side effects: swelling of face & tongue, hives, itching, headache, CP, and nausea
Question:
Bicycle Erogmeter
Answer:
-used for pts with orthopedic, vascular, or neurological limitations
-need the ability to be adjusted manually or electronically
Question:
most; least
Answer:
-Upsloping ST that does not return to baseline in 80 milliseconds beyond the J- point: severe
-Downsloping ST: severe & 99% dependable for predicting CAD
Question:
Dobutamine Stress Test
Answer:
-adrenergic agonist
-stimulates the beta-1 receptors in the cardiovascular system
-increases BP & HR which increases the workload
-may lead to arrhythmias, SOB, headache, low BP, CP, or tremors
-Beta-blockers can reverse the side effects
Question:
normal test findings
Answer:
, -J point that is slightly depressed, sloping up into an ST segment that returns to baseline within 80
milliseconds (.08) from the J-point
Question:
Indicates myocardial ischemia
Answer:
-upsloping ST which doesn't return to baseline within 80 milliseconds (.08)
-J point depression followed by a horizontal ST segment below baseline
-downward sloping ST segment
-J point & ST elevation
Question:
Indications for a pharmacological stress test
Answer:
-inability to exercise due to orthopedic, neurological, circulator or respiratory conditions
-general debilitation
-presence of calcium channel blockers
Question:
Data for stress results
Answer:
-ECG results
-HR & BP response
-presence or absence of CV symptoms
-aerobic exercise capacity
-presence of symptoms
-percent of pt's max HR
Question:
MET - Metabolic Equivalent
