Ergometer an apparatus that measures work or energy
expended during a period of physical exercise.
Treadmill - Speeds ranging from 1 - 8 mph
- Incline ranging from 0%-20%
Indicatations of cardiovascular -Changes in the J-point & ST segment
disease -Mets < 6.5
-Duration < 6 minutes
-Low peak HR
-Maintaining a low systolic BP
-Severe ST depression
-Prolonged ST depression
Cardiolite -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 -used for pts with orthopedic, vascular, or
neurological limitations
-need the ability to be adjusted manually or
electronically
most; least -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 -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 -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 -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 -inability to exercise due to orthopedic,
stress test neurological, circulator or respiratory conditions
-general debilitation
-presence of calcium channel blockers
