Q4: moderate risk @ moderate intensity: what/who is needed .
Answer: nothing
Q5: 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
Q6: who should have PFT's done? .
Answer: all smokers <45y.o & anyone presenting with dyspnea
Q7: ECG monitoring during test .
Answer: recorded last 15secs of each stage
Q8: BP monitoring during test .
Answer: measured/recorded last 45secs of each stage
Q9: HR monitoring during test .
Answer: recorded last 5secs of each stage
Q10: ECG monitoring after test .
Answer: monitored continuously, recorded immediately post exercise, during last 15secs of 1st minute
then every 2 minutes thereafter
, Q11: BP monitoring after test .
Answer: measured & recorded immediately post exercise then every 2 minutes thereafter
Q12: HR monitoring after test .
Answer: monitored continuously then recorded during last 5secs of each minute
Q13: 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
Q14: thallum 201 .
Answer: circulates myocardium showing images of where lack/inadequate blood flow is; shows images
of inadequate perfusion
Q15: 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
Q16: adenosine (dipyridamole) .
Answer: causes maximal coronary vasodilation in normal epicardial arteries; rest images then
compared with imaging obtain after coronary vasodilation
Q17: optimal ExRx .
Answer: cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body comp,
& neuromotor fitness (gradual progression of volume/intensity)
Q18: states exercise below minimum intensity will not challenge body sufficiently to result in changes
in physiologic parameters
Answer: overload principle

Answer: light = 30-40% moderate = 40-60% vigorous = 60-90%
