Ergometer - Answer: an apparatus that measures work or
energy expended during a period of physical exercise.
Treadmill - Answer: - Speeds ranging from 1 - 8 mph
- Incline ranging from 0%-20%
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
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
Bicycle Erogmeter - Answer: -used for pts with orthopedic,
vascular, or neurological limitations
-need the ability to be adjusted manually or electronically
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
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
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
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
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
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
MET - Metabolic Equivalent - Answer: -a measure of exercise
