, What is the major difference between protocols for cardiac treadmill and claudication
treadmill testing? - ANSWERSpeed is varied during a cardiac treadmill test to increase
heartrate to a specific target level.
During a treadmill test, patient complains of pain in the left arm and jaw, but denies any
other pain. What is the most likely consideration? - ANSWERAngina.
What is the normal diameter for the abdominal aorta? - ANSWER2-3 cm.
After walking 5 minutes on treadmill, patient experiences decrease in ankle pressure of 40%
on right and 15% on left. These findings suggest? - ANSWERClaudication.
What is the correct setting for arterial volume recording? - ANSWERAC-coupled output.
What Doppler waveform abnormality in the lower extremity arterial circulation distal to a
hemodynamically significant stenosis show? - ANSWERAn absent flow recersal component,
blunting of the peak velocity and prolonged upslope and downslope.
A normal arterial volume waveform may have all EXCEPT: Swift upstroke, sharp peak, rapid
downslope bowed toward baseline, dicrotic notch or reverse flow component?
- ANSWERReverse flow component because it is part of a Doppler waveform not volume
waveform.
T or F- Most analog Doppler analysis is qualitative, assessing for presence or absence of
characteristics. - ANSWERTrue.
What is the normal response of ankle pressure to exercise testing? - ANSWERThere should
be no change if normal.
With severe lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, how will distal Doppler waveforms
appear? - ANSWERMarkedly dampened, possibly making interpretation difficult for distal
segments.
What is the usual cuff pressure used in arterial volume recording? - ANSWER65 mmHg.
What would the CFA signal look like with aortoiliac occlusion? - ANSWERLow pitched and
monophasic.
