Normal/Abnormal EKG Changes During Exercise

Question 1

P wave increases in height
R wave decreases in height
J point becomes depressed
ST segment becomes sharply up sloping
Q-T interval shortens
T wave decreases in height

Answer 1

Normal EKG Changes During Exercise

Question 2

Excessive ST-segment depression (> 2mm)
ST elevation (> 1mm) in leads without diagnostic Q waves
Increase PR interval
Missing Q wave
Missing P wave
Increase/decrease wave time

Answer 2

Abnormal Exercise Changes

Question 3

Moderate to severe angina
Marked dyspnea or fatigue
Ataxia
Dizziness or near-syncope
Signs of poor perfusion (cyanosis & pallor)
Patient requests to terminate test
Sustained supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia
Drop in SBP >10 mmHg from baseline (despite an Increase in workload, when accompanied by other evidence of ischemia),
Hypertensive response
