25
what is VO2 predictive of?
aerobic capacity volume of oxygen
26
when VO2 reaches steady state during exercise, the ATP demand is _____ _________
met aerobically
27
in a high altitude environment, the body makes more _____s to account for the decreased level of oxygen
RBCs
28
if you go somewhere with high altitude, what happens to BP, CO, HR, and SV?
BP increases CO increases HR increases SV remains unchanged once acclimated, BP and CO will become normal, HR stays increased, SV decreases
29
will venous return increase or decrease with aquatic therapy?
increase, d/t hydrostatic pressure exerted by water
30
what happens to HR, BP, and VO2 during aquatic therapy?
all decrease
31
what happens to CO and SV during aquatic therapy?
they increase
32
what happens to work of breathing during aquatic therapy?
increases
33
what happens to vital capacity during aquatic therapy?
decreases
34
what do beta blockers do to HR and contractility? what conditions are they used for?
decrease them pts with HTN and CAD
35
what scale do you use for exercise prescription for people on beta blockers d/t decreased HR?
RPE (scale is 6-20) SHVEM: 13 - somewhat hard 15 - hard 17 - very hard 19 - extremely hard 20 - max exertion
36
the best way to measure change in fitness from pre and post training is to measure...
the time it takes for the HR to return to baseline, quicker it returns to baseline the more fit
37
what are the auscultation landmarks
A P T M Aortic: 2nd IC space, R sternal border Pulmonic: 2nd IC space, left sternal border Tricuspid: 4th IC space, left sternal border Mitral: 5th IC space, midclavicular line
38
what heart sound is "lub" associated with?
S1, closure of mitral and tricuspid valves, onset of systole
39
what heart sound is "dub" associated with?
S2, closure of aortic and pulmonary valves, onset of diastole
40
which heart sound is the loudest at the base (top) of the heart?
S2
41
what heart sound is loudest at the apex (bottom) of the heart?
S1
42
what condition is an increase in both the RBCs and the hemoglobin, increased blood viscosity, resulting in HTN?
polycythemia
43
what can be used to determine myocardial O2 demand of a patient at the onset of chest pain symptoms?
rate product pressure (RPP)
44
at what point are S1 and S2 heard equally loud?
Erb's point (in between base and apex)
45
what heart sound is associated with early systole?
S1 "lub"
46
what heard sound is associated with late diastole?
S4 (abnormal)
47
what heart sound is associated with early diastole?
S3 (abnormal)
48
what heart sound is associated with late systole?
S2 "dub"
49
the SA node initiates _____________
depolarization
50
the AV node passes ________ to ventricles
depolarization
51
the P wave on an ECG represents ______ __________
atrial depolarization
52
the QRS complex on an ECG represents
ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
53
the T wave on an ECG represents
ventricular repolarization
54
depolarization =
contraction
55
repolarization =
relaxation
56
how to find the HR on a 6 second ECG strip?
count the R waves
57
which AV heart block is there a delay in conduction?
1st degree (P-R interval is 1 large box)
58
which AV heart block is there a dropped QRS but it is expected (PR interval gets progressively longer)? What is the correct response?
2nd degree/Mobitz Type 1 lower intensity of exercises and monitor ECG
59
which AV heart block is there an intermittently dropped QRS and no pattern can be discerned? What is the correct response?
2nd degree/Mobitz type II stop exercise!
60
which AV heart block is the atrial rate independent of the ventricular rate, and there is no relation at all of the P-R intervals? what should you do?
third degree AV block, call 911!
61
what are the main symptoms of L sided HF?
Lung problems, pulmonary edema
62
what are the main sx of R sided HF?
peripheral edema
63
what is cor pulmonale?
R ventricle failure
64
myocardial ________ is when there is a decrease in blood supply and a ST segment depression of 2mm and higher?
ischemia (loss of blood)
65
myocardial _________ is when there is a complete occlusion of blood supply and cell death, ST segment is elevated 1mm and higher?
infarction
66
which arrhythmia is the saw tooth pattern?
atrial flutter
67
which arrhythmia doesn't let the T wave fully finish?
PAC
68
are the supra ventricular arrhythmias (PAC, atrial tach, atrial flutter, and Afib) 911 situations?
no
69
palpitations, SOB, and fatigue are sx of what?
afib if exercising stop and report to physician
70
is ventricular tachycardia and emergency situation?
yes
71
PVCs that occur ___ or more in a row is called ventricular tachycardia
3 call 911
72
if you see a unifocal PVC while a pt is exercising, what should you do?
keep exercising at a lower intensity consult with physician is not required here
