Final Exam Flashcards
Power on a Bike
resistance (kg) X distance (m) X frequency (rev/min)
Converting from m/s to mph
Divide m/s by 26.8
Converting from lbs to kg
divide lbs by 2.2
Energy Expenditure from Relative VO2
multiple relative VO2 x 1 L/1000ml x BM (kg) x Time (min) x 5kcals/L
Right Coronary Artery
stems from the right side of the aorta and travels downward and posteriorly;
Left Coronary Artery
stems from the left side of the aorta and consists of the left main coronary artery, the left anterior descending artery, and the circumflex artery
Circumflex Artery
travels down the lateral aspect of the left ventricle and ends posteriorly
Left Anterior Descending Artery
travels downward over the anterior surface of the left ventricle, circles the apex, and ends behind it
When to use Diagnostic Exercise Testing
to aid in diagnosis of heart disease, to diagnose silent ischemia, to assess the safety of exercise, to follow the process of coronary disease, to assess functional capacity, to assess the efficacy of medical procedures, to determine true max HR
High Risk: First Box
known CV, pulmonary, metabolic disease; CV = cardiac, peripheral vascular, or cerebrovascular disease; Pulmonary = COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis; Metabolic = diabetes, thyroid disorders, renal/liver disease
High Risk: Second Box
major signs or symptoms suggestive of CV, Pulmonary, Metabolic disease;
Major Signs or Symptoms suggestive of CV, Pulmonary, Metabolic Disease
Pain, discomfort in the chest, neck, jaw, arms, or other areas that may result from ischemia; Shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion; Dizziness or syncope; Orthopnea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea; Ankle Edema; Palpitations or tachycardia; Intermittent claudication; Known heart murmur; Unusual fatigue or shortness of breath with usual activities

Dyslipidemia: Risk Factor
LDL 130 or higher; HDL lower than 40; negative risk factor if HDL 60 or higher; OR on lipid lowering medication;
Family: Risk Factor
MI, coronary re-vascularization, or sudden death before age 55 for father/brother or before age 65 for mother/sister
