Which gas is considered an important vasodilator of the blood vessels?
Nitric oxide
T/F: In a successfully revascularized patient, the exercise test provides additional information before the patient starts a cardiac rehabilitation program
False
A typical treadmill graded exercise test for an individual with PAD would begin at which speed?
2 mph
T/F: A small number of patients with myocardial ischemia present with silent ischemia
True
T/F: Home-based programs have been considered successful interventions in patients with PAD
False
Which of the following sequences are correct in the development of angina pectoris?
Stiff left ventricle, Systolic emptying of left ventricle is impaired, ECG abnormalities, Symptoms of angina
Design a clinical exercise test for the aerobic assessment of heart failure
For a patient with heart failure, I would have them do a 6 minute walk. I would make sure to record their distance travelled, HR and RPE’s this is so that we can tell just how hard it is for the patient and ensure that they are not going to put themselves at risk. Another thing that could be measured would be their gas exchange to determine peak oxygen uptake.
Typical symptoms of leg pain in patients with claudication include
A and B correct A. Fatigue B. Cramping
Which of the following benefits are possible after exercise training in patients with coronary revascularization?
All of the above • Greater total work performed • Improved exercise capacity • Improved cardiac performance at rest • Increased peripheral muscular adaptations
T/F: Pacemakers that use an accelerometer may have a difficult time in determining the heart rate response in exercise with an increased treadmill slope
True
T/F: Patients with heart failure may be able to weight train with resistances that would allow one set of 12-15 repetitions to be completed
True
In ECG of patients with heart failure, which of the following are present?
Changes in Q-wave in leads V1, V2, V3, V4
T/F: In an ECG of a myocardial infarction, the ST segment will be at the isoelectric line
False
T/F: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs may be used as an exercise program for individuals in early stages of cardiac rehabilitation
False
In the management of a myocardial infarction, which drug is considered an anti-coagulant?
Heparin
There is an __ increase in mortality at 1 year for every 30-minute delay in opening an infarct-related artery once symptoms begin
8%
T/F: The United States contributes almost a third of the worldwide economic burden of heart failure
True
T/F: Blood pressure should be monitored in individuals with a pacemaker while exercising
True
T/F: Exercise testing is useful in determining the degree of functional limitations in patients with PAD
True
Signs and symptoms such as difficulty sleeping flat are often found in patients with
Heart failure
Why would a bench press be contraindicated in early phase cardiac rehabilitation?
The valsalva maneuver must be avoided when patients are just out of the hospital/starting cardiac rehab. If the patient was to do a bench press they would be putting a lot of strain on their chest. This is especially bad for those who have had open heart surgery. This is because they have had their chest cracked open and they should not be completing any upper body exercise for at least the !rst 6 weeks.
The main contributor to a coronary syndrome is
Atherosclerosis
T/F: Rhythm disorders that involve the SA node are classified as sick sinus syndrome
True
Which of the following frequencies of exercise is recommended for someone exercising at a low intensity?
Daily activity
