AACVRP CCRP Exam


Relative Contraindications to exercise training - Answer-2nd or 3rd degree block

A-fib with uncontrolled ventricular rate

Tachy or brady- arrhythmia

Electrolyte abnormalities

SBP>200/DBP>100

Chronic infection (HIV)

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Uncontrolled metabolic disease



Absolute Contraindications to exercise training - Answer-Significant changes in ECG

Uncontrolled angina

Uncontrolled HF

Symptomatic aortic stenosis

Acute myo- peri- carditis

Systemic infection, fever, swollen lymph



When to stop exercise training - Answer-DBP > or = 110

Decrease in SBP > 10

2nd or 3rd degree block

S/S of exercise intolerance (marked SOB, angina, ECG suggesting ischemia)

, ST segment down slope during exercise - Answer-Exercise induced myocardial ischemia



ST segment elevation on normal ECG during exercise - Answer-Significant myocardial ischemia



Standard for a positive ST down slope - Answer-> or = 1.0 mm



Baseline presence of ST abnormalities are - Answer-Less specific for myocardial ischemia



When to terminate training based on ventricular ectopy - Answer-Sustained ventricular tachycardia

Multi focal PVCs

Triplets of PVCs

Combined with symptoms and Myocardial ischemia



MET - Answer-metabolic equivalent



1 MET = - Answer-3.5 mL/kg/min of oxygen



Peak oxygen uptake of less than 14-15 ml/kg/min - Answer-Very low functional capacity



Rate Pressure Product - Answer-Reflects myocardial demand



RPP = - Answer-[HR x SBP]/100
