CEP FINAL EXAM CVD QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
The progression of cardiovascular disease that leads to ACS may also lead to -
Answer-Death, CABG, PCI, Catheterization w/PTCA.
Patients who had recent PCI but not CABG should be observed closely while in
cardiac rehab for potential recurrences of ischemic signs and symptoms indicative of
restenosis: - Answer-false
High-intensity interval training is safe for individuals with unstable angina and
unstable HF: - Answer-false
Anginal threshold refers to the intensity of an activity which leads to increased
myocardial demand that cannot be met, resulting in classic symptoms of ischemia -
Answer-true
Aerobic exercise frequency for a patient that is 1-week post MI w/o complication is -
Answer-5-7 days/week and min 3 days/week.
The mechanism of action of nitrates relax smooth muscle through the release of -
Answer-Nitric oxide
ACE inhibitors effects the progression of _____ due to HTN - Answer-Renal failure
Beta blockers also can be used to control rhythms like AFib, but may cause. -
Answer-Excessive bradycardia
Which of the following is not a side effect of a beta blocker - Answer-Excessive
tachycardia
Over does of beta blocker may lead to - Answer-heart block
ACS is the result of - Answer-MVO2 difference
56 y/o patient, status/post PCI 8 weeks, without prescriptions of beta blocker wishes
to begin light jogging in cardiac rehab. They have an exercise history of marathon
running, and have been stable in cardiac rehab for 6 weeks. Which recommendation
is best for this patient regarding his endurance training intensity. - Answer-40-80%
HRreserve & REP (12-16)
A deconditioned participant of cardiac rehabilitation reports exercising (walking) at
home 5x/day, 5 minutes each time, 3 days per week. Which of the following are true
- Answer-The participant is meeting minimal guidelines for frequency & If tolerable,
participant should increase the length of each bout of daily exercise, and decrease
the daily frequency.
, Why is heart rate not typically used to prescribe exercise intensity - Answer-Rate
altering medications
The goal of CEPA is to provide support to the clinical exercise physiologist and
advance scientific and practical application - Answer-true
One of the founding fathers of exercise physiology was - Answer-Astrand
All of the following are considered modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors
expect - Answer-family history and sex
Participating in activities or behaviours that do not meet required MET levels for
health benefits is called - Answer-sedentary time
With regards to cardiovascular disease risk factors, the inclusion criteria for diabetes
is FPG > 126 mg/dl, or 2 hour plasma glucose value in oral glucose tolerance test >
200 mg/dl, or Hemoglobin A1C > 6.5 - Answer-true
The definition of "current participation of exercise" or "regular exercise" includes
planned, structured physical activity for - Answer-Minimal 30 minutes/day, 3x/wk, for
3 months.
A 65-year man with significant history positive for obesity, hyperlipidemia, acute MI
sees you for screening prior to participating in exercise. From your conversation, he
states that he previously led a sedentary lifestyle but would like to start exercising at
the gym. Based on this short health history what level of exercise can he begin to
participate in and progress to? - Answer-Light-Moderate; progress as tolerated.
Sedentary behavior is characterized to be below the following MET level - Answer-<
1.5
Hippocrates's influenced modern medicine, he believed physical activity and
exercise was necessary to combat: - Answer-diseases
ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription contains guidelines, rather
than standards of practice, which means: - Answer-clinical exercise physiologists
may deviate from the guidelines when deemed necessary and appropriate using
independent and prudent judgment.
Within the ACSM Preparticipation Health Screening Algorithm which is not a "risk
modulator? - Answer-age
The benefits of regular physical activity and exercise lead to all of the following
except: - Answer-increase LDL
Which cardiovascular disease risk factor is considered to be a "negative risk factor?"
- Answer-HDL
Inflammatory progression of a plaque may lead to weakening of the fibrous cap. The
matrix is digested and smooth muscle cells are damaged beyond repair. If the
