Q

Dyspnea

A

Shortness of breathe at rest or with mild exertion

  • an abnormally uncomfortable awareness of breathing
  • one of the principal symptoms of cardiac and pulmonary disease
  • during strenuous exertion in healthy, well-trained individuals
  • during moderate exertion in healthy untrained individuals
  • suggest left ventricular dysfunction and COPD

Q

Syncope:

A
  • feeling dizzy and faint
  • defined by a loss of consciousness
  • caused by a reduced perfusion of the brain
  • result from cardiac disorders (during exercise) that prevent the normal rise or fall in cardiac output
  • may occur in healthy individuals as a result of a reduction in venous return to the heart

25
Intermittent Claudication
the pain that occurs in a muscle with inadequate blood supply that is stressed by exercise - due to atherosclerosis - symptom of Coronary artery disease - its more of a sharp pain than a crampy pain
26
Known Heart Murmur
suggests Valvular or other cardiovascular disease (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) Aortic Stenosis Cause of exertion-related sudden cardiac death
27
Aortic Stenosis
valve doesn't close all the way
28
Step 3:
ACSM pre-participation screening ALGORITHM 1. identify who can participate 2. identity individuals who have signs or symptoms of suggested disease 3. Identify desired exercise intensity
29
Cardiac Rehab or Medical Fitness Facilities Patients
are advised to use more in-depth risk stratification procedures Criteria from American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) - low, moderate and highest risk
30
Lowest Risk stratification criteria (Exercise Testing)
- Absence of complex ventricular dysrhythmias during exercise testing and recovery - Absence of angina or significant symptoms - Presence of normal hemodynamics during testing/recovery (ex. appropriate increase and decrease of HR/systolic BP with increasing workloads and recovery). - Functional capacity > or equal to 7 METS
31
Lowest Risk stratification criteria (NON Exercise Testing)
- Resting ejection fractioning > or equal to 50% - Uncomplicated myocardial infarction or revascularization procedure - Absence of complicated ventricular dysrhythmias, congestive heart failure, symptoms or postevent/postprocedure ischemia, and clinical depression

40
Abnormal hemodynamics
hypotension after workout, abnormal dynamics of blood flow.

Why should this person do this test, what information will it give them
59
What to say when terminating the testing
"The participant is free to withdraw from the procedure at any time'
60
Graded Exercise Test is recognized for...
- Detection of CAD in people with chest pain syndrome or potentially equivalent symptoms - Eval of anatomic and functional severity of CAD - prediction of CV events and all cause death - Eval of physical capacity and effort tolerance - Eval of exercise related symptoms - Assessment of chronotropic competence, arrythmias and response to implanted device therapy - Assessment of the response to medical interventions
61
The test: Patients should be able to... (Minimum)
6 or 8 m gait >.6 m/s 8 sit to stand repetitions in 30 s 8 arm curls with a 4 kg mass Ascending a flight of 10 steps in under 30 seconds Chair sit and reach to the toes on both sides
62
Minimum Recommendations when test isn't available (Aerobic Training)
- 2-4 METS - Exercise HR= resting HR +20 contractions/min - RPE no higher than 11-14 on the 6-20 scale (this is light to somewhat hard) - Start slow, go slow and be alert for symptoms
63
Minimum Recommendations when test isn't available (Strength Training)
2 sets of 30 s of sit to stand reps 2 sets of 8 arm curls with 4 kg mass 10 step ups 2 times chair sit and reach 2 times, holding for 30 s
64
barely detectable breathing, increased depth of breath
light work... 1.5-3 METS
65
Can pass the talk test (Mod)
2-6 METS
66
Can pass the talk test (Vig)
6 -9 METS
67
Heavy Breathing
High intensity (>9 METS)
68
Exercise Programming Steps
- assess current health status - assess current level of PA - Identify exertional symptoms that limit PA - Eval physical function and performance
69
ADL
activities of daily living
70
NYHA
New York Heart Association
71
RPE
rate of perceived exertion
72
Approximate range of aerobic capacity
