UPDATE |2026!! STUDY GUIDE EXAM
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
optimal ExRx - (ANSWER)cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscular strength, muscular endurance,
flexibility, body comp, & neuromotor fitness (gradual progression of volume/intensity)
overload principle - (ANSWER)states exercise below minimum intensity will not challenge body
sufficiently to result in changes in physiologic parameters
intensity (light, moderate, vigorous( - (ANSWER)light = 30-40%
moderate = 40-60%
vigorous = 60-90%
HRR method - (ANSWER)((HRpeak - HRrest) x %intensity) + HRrest
