-ability to count the number of red blood cells that pass through each chamber over
several heartbeats
-side effects: swelling of face & tongue, hives, itching, headache, CP, and nausea
Bicycle Erogmeter - ✔️✔️-used for pts with orthopedic, vascular, or neurological
limitations
-need the ability to be adjusted manually or electronically
most; least - ✔️✔️-Upsloping ST that does not return to baseline in 80 milliseconds
beyond the J-point: ________ severe
-Downsloping ST: _________ severe & 99% dependable for predicting CAD
Dobutamine Stress Test - ✔️✔️-adrenergic agonist
-stimulates the beta-1 receptors in the cardiovascular system
-increases BP & HR which increases the workload
-may lead to arrhythmias, SOB, headache, low BP, CP, or tremors
-Beta-blockers can reverse the side effects
normal test findings - ✔️✔️-J point that is slightly depressed, sloping up into an ST
segment that returns to baseline within 80 milliseconds (.08) from the J-point
Indicates myocardial ischemia - ✔️✔️-upsloping ST which doesn't return to baseline
within 80 milliseconds (.08)

-J point depression followed by a horizontal ST segment below baseline
-downward sloping ST segment
-J point & ST elevation
Indications for a pharmacological stress test - ✔️✔️-inability to exercise due to
orthopedic, neurological, circulator or respiratory conditions
-general debilitation
-presence of calcium channel blockers
Data for stress results - ✔️✔️-ECG results
-HR & BP response
-presence or absence of CV symptoms
-aerobic exercise capacity
-presence of symptoms
-percent of pt's max HR
MET - Metabolic Equivalent - ✔️✔️-a measure of exercise intensity based on oxygen
consumption
-1 is = the amount of o2 a person consumes per unit of body weight during 1 min of rest
Non-coronary causes of ST depression - ✔️✔️-severe HTN
