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
, 2|P age
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
