Question 11

specialized form of cardiovascular stress testing that mimics the exercise conditions experienced by swimmers.

Answer 11

Swimming ergometry

Question 12

This method is particularly beneficial for athletes and individuals who engage in swimming as their primary form of exercise, providing a more specific assessment of cardiovascular function compared to traditional land-based exercise tests like treadmill or bicycle ergometry.

Answer 12

Swimming ergometry

Question 13

cardiovascular stress testing as alternative forms of exercise to the more traditional treadmill or cycle ergometer tests.

Answer 13

Paddling/rowing exercises

Question 14

These activities provide a comprehensive cardiovascular workout and can be particularly useful in assessing heart function in specific populations or those with preferences or conditions that make traditional forms of exercise testing less suitable.

Answer 14

rowing/paddling exercise

Question 15

similar to treadmill testing, but using a stationary bicycle.

Answer 15

Cycle ergometer

Question 16

This method assesses cardiovascular function and fitness, and it has certain advantages and specific uses

Answer 16

Cycle ergometer

Question 17

a common procedure used to assess the cardiovascular response to physical stress.

Answer 17

Treadmill stress teting/treadmill exercise testing

Question 18

The test is designed to evaluate how well the heart functions under increased workload, which can help diagnose various heart conditions, guide treatment plans, and assess the effectiveness of interventions

Answer 18

Treadmill stress testing

Question 19

To identify blockages in the coronary arteries that may not be evident when the heart is at rest.

To evaluate symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath

Answer 19

Diagnosing Coronary Artery diseases in treadmill Stress Testing

Question 20

To determine the patient’s functional capacity and how well their heart handles exercise.

To assess exercise-related symptoms and establish safe levels of exercise for rehabilitation.

Answer 20

Assessment of exercise tolerance

Question 21

To predict the risk of future cardiac events in patients with known heart disease.

To monitor the effectiveness of treatments such as medications or revascularization procedures

Answer 21

Prognosis in known heart disease

Question 22

To identify arrhythmias that may occur or worsen with exercise.

Answer 22

Evaluation of Heart rythm disorders

Question 23

To assess the risk of heart-related complications before major surgeries.

Answer 23

Preoperative evaluation

Question 24

requires a greater control over the subject’s exercise workload and a much greater degree of physiologic monitoring.

Answer 24

Test for Evaluating Exercise tolerance

Question 25

what equipments are used in the test for evaluation of exercise tolerance

Answer 25

Treadmill and ergometer

Question 26

Measurements that should be monitored in test for evaluation of exercise tolerance

Answer 26

HR, BP, RR, ECG, SpO2.

Measurement of breathing volumes and exhaled gas analysis - used to make VO2 and VCO2 determinations.

Question 27

goal of this test is to exercise the subject at a level of exertion that is performed by the subject during daily activities.

Answer 27

TESTING FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON OXYHEMOGLOBIN DESATURATION.
