Answers | Brand New Version
high risk @ moderate & vigorous intensity: what/who is needed - ANSWER-medical exam,
exercise test & MD supervision prior to exercise
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
BP monitoring after test - ANSWER-measured & recorded immediately 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
dobutamine - ANSWER-elicits wall motion abnormalities by increasing HR & therefore
myocardial O2 demand; infused intravenously with dose increased gradually until maximal does
or endpoint is acheived
adenosine (dipyridamole) - ANSWER-causes maximal coronary vasodilation in normal
epicardial arteries; rest images then compared with imaging obtain after coronary vasodilation
optimal ExRx - ANSWER-cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, body comp, & neuromotor fitness (gradual progression of
volume/intensity)
overload principle - ANSWER-states exercise below minimum intensity will not challenge body
sufficiently to result in changes in physiologic parameters
