Final Exam Flashcards
Standard GXT
- research or rx
- theraputic indications
- no EKG monitoring
- Ventilatory gasses
Diagnostic GXT
- EKG monitoring
- BP/HR monitoring
- used for diagnostic/prognostic
- ventilatory gasses in presence of HF
magnitude of ischemia due to lesion directly proportional to
- st segment depression
- # of EKG leads associated w st segment depression
- duration of st segment depression
magnitude of ischemia due to lesion is indirectly proportional to
- st slope
- RPP at which st segment depression occurs
- HR max, SBP, METs achieved
GXT post MI
- prognostic
- ex rx
- evaluation of medical therapy or surgical interventions
- submax testing rec after discharge
- 4-6d after acute MI
- cant do it w/o revascularization
- fx capacity <5Mets
Functional Testing
- PA counceling
- EXrx
- Disability assessmet
- estimate prognosis
- return to work eval
MET increase VS all cause mortality
1 MET increase = 1.3% decrease in all cause mortality
how much weight do treadmills hold
350
which protocol is more accurate in estimation of ex capacity and ventilator threshold
ramp
proper ECG monitoring
- skin prep
- LEAD PLACEMENT
- continuous monitoring
Echo is good for
- aortic stenosis
- low cardiac output
- milld mitral stenosis resulting symptoms
- severe aortic insuffieciency or mitral regurgitation
Risk of complication hospital admission, acute mi, sudden cardiac death
-hospital admission <0.01 %
CVD meds that don’t really affect ex
- ARBs
- ACE inhibitors
- Dieuretics
- Anticoagulants
- antiplatelet
- lipid lowering meds
CVD meds that will affect ex
- Beta blockers
- Calcium channel blockers
Beta blocker response w ex
-Blunted HR and BP response to ex
-faulty HR and BP
-OLOL
(selective or non selective)
Calcium channel blockers
- lower HR
- used when changing electrical
- DIPINE
ACE Inhibitors
- work through kidneys not heart
- PRIL
ARBs
- do NOT get ACE cough
- block all actions of angiotensin 2
- SARTAN
Dieuretics
- lasix is most common
- usually first med prescribed
Anticoagulants
-heparin used in hospital
Antiplatelet
- dont effect ex rx
- less sticky
- easier for blood to flow
Lipid lowering drugs
- statins
- anyone at risk or might be at risk should be on one
- might feel sore/cramps
Know table a1
put in here
common CVD
- HTN
- CAD
- PAD
- atherosclerotic arterial disease
- acute coronary syndromes
- cerebrovascular disease/stroke
- MI
- myocardial ischemia
where does CAD occur
tunica intima
how many deaths per year bc of HTN
9.4 mil
how many deaths per year cvd
17.3 million
