Kin 433 Final Exam 4 Questions With
Guaranteed Pass Solutions 2025-2026
Updated.
What is the number one way people find out they have CAD? - Answer they have a heart
attack
What are the three goals of cardiac rehab for CAD patients? - Answer increase functional
capacity to decrease mortality risk, decrease risk factors, train them so they can train!
What modes are best for CAD patients? - Answer any! but they should do both endurance and
resistance training
How should you determine intensity with a CAD patients? - Answer RPE or %HRR if you did a
direct method test ( CCB meds or B blockers can alter HR)
What do beta blockers and CCBs do to HR, SV, and VO2? - Answer The decrease HR, max SV,
and max VO2
Why will patients on CCBs or beta blockers feel ill when they exercise? - Answer · They are
gonna feel like shit when they exercise super hard because their body needs oxygen delivery to
support the exercise intensity, but their SNS is suppressed > HR is much slower > decreased SV >
decreased amount of blood pumping around delivering O2, so they can get hypotensive and
nauseated
What is the recommended duration and frequency for CAD patients? - Answer Meet them
where they are and work up. Can start with short bouts with breaks in between to accumulate
to 20 minutes
True or false. HIIT training can work better than traditional cardiac rehab - Answer true!
VO2 max is about 1 MET higher in the HIIT group compared to the MICT group, so they have
about a 13% decrease in CVD mortality risk!!!
HIIT group reaches anaerobic threshold at a higher intensity
, Why should CAD patients be taught how to breathe properly while weight lifting? - Answer
Avoid Valsalva maneuver (want to avoid the temporary highly elevated BP that could bust open
a complicated lesion)
What is the criteria for beginning resistance training as a CAD patient? - Answer Minimum of 5
weeks post MI or surgery (bypass, etc) and are already 4 weeks into a supervised cardiac rehab
Minimum of 3 weeks following transcatheter procedure (angioplasty, etc) with 2 weeks of
cardiac rehab
Free from: CHF (but research is starting to contradict this), uncontrolled dysrhythmias,
uncontrolled HTN, unstable symptoms (ex. Angina at rest)
What is the number one identifiable trigger of a heart attack? - Answer physical exertion,
specifically strength/resistance training
Why should CAD patients do strength training? - Answer Strength training decreases the BP
response to a given exertion
BP ____ as number of repetitions increases - Answer increases
What are the 6 criteria for determining ischemic threshold? - Answer 1. angina or related
symptoms
2. BP >250 and or >115
3. greater than or equal to 1 mm ST segment depression
4. LV dysfunction or wall abnormalities seen on an echocardiogram
5. increased frequency of ventricular dysrhythmias
6. other significant ECG disturbances
___% of people with PAD don't know they have it because stage 1 is asymptomatc - Answer
60%
What is the most common and easiest way to test for PAD - Answer ankle-brachial index
