Q

How do cardiac rehab professionals use Graded Exercise Testing (GXTs)?

A
  • Functional rather than diagnostic tools
  • Risk stratification
  • Limits and guidelines for exercise therapy
  • Assess change over time
28
Q

What MET do most ADL’s in the home environment require?

29
Q

What exercise testing protocol is used for Lower extremity amputees?

A

Arm ergometers

30
Q

What exercise testing protocol provides a common form of physiologic stress?

A

Treadmill testing subjects are likely to attain a higher VO2 max and peak heart rate than cycle ergometer

31
Q

What are advantages of a cycle ergometer?

A

Less space
Less expensive
Better quality EKG and BP monitoring

32
Q

What exercise testing protocol is appropriate for

high-risk patients with functional capacity of <7 METs?

A

Balke-Ware protocols that increase metabolic demands by 1 MET per stage

33
Q

What exercise testing protocol is appropriate for

low to intermediate risk patients with functional capacity of >7 METs?

A

Bruce protocol with metabolic demands of >2 METs per stage

34
Q

When is Bruce protocol used?

A

Bruce Protocol of 2 to 3 METs per stage is useful with stable patients with functional capacities of 10 METs

35
Q

What can Pharmacologic stress testing in debilitated patients for whom exercise testing cannot be performed
be used for?

A

Evaluate ischemia

Cannot be used in exercise presumption

Vagal innervation (PNS tone) from the body and vagal inhibition to the sinoatrial (SA) node

59
Q

What are physiologic changes after heart transplant?

A

  7. 5- and 10-year survival ~85% and 75%
  8. Accelerated atherosclerosis
60
Q

How does exercise improve PAD and walking economy?

A

Increasing biomechanical and metabolic efficiency

A

ASA 325 mg

62
Q

Describe the results of the 1996 Copenhagen Stroke Study that measured the consequences of stroke with AF compared to those with sinus rhythm.

A 
–Poorer neuro and functional outcomes
