CCT ACTUAL TEST PAPER 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
●● 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
