1. (8pts) From these data, graph your mean arterial pressure (MAP; see formula) and heart rate (y axes) vs. workload (in METS) on the x-axis (include resting results). Using this information, answer the following questions. Show ALL work.

MAP = [1/3 (SBP-DBP)] +DBP

MAP: [1/3 (SBP-DBP)] + DBP Resting (supine) - [1/3 (118-72)] + 72= 87.33~87 mmHg Resting (standing) - [1/3 (108-70)] + 70= 82.67~83 mmHg Bruce Protocol Stage 1 - [1/3 (120-64)] + 64= 82.67~83 mmHg Bruce Protocol Stage 2 - [1/3 (130-68)] + 68= 88.67~89 mmHg

METs: Resting = 1 MET Bruce Protocol Stage 1= 4.6 METs Bruce Protocol Stage 2 = 7 METs

Heart Rate: Resting (supine) - 64 bts/min Resting (standing)- 127 bts/min Bruce Protocol Stage 1- 126 bts/min

The narrowing of the artery walls is going to make moving oxygen through them much harder than it would be in healthy arteries. So if a patient with atherosclerotic arteries performed the same test, they would show a higher double product. The patient 's resting double product is going to start higher and, with exercise, the patient will most likely become fatigued more quickly.

4. (3 pts) What is the risk for a cardiac related event during exercise (or exercise testing)? Please provide statistical examples (i.e. 1 event for every X number of individuals). Also, elaborate on various populations (i.e. young, adult, male/female, etc.). (Hint; guidelines Ch. 1)

The risk for a cardiac related event occurring during exercise for a healthy individual is very low when participating in moderate exercise. The rick increases when an individual is exercising at a higher intensity. Data has shown that one per 133,000 men and one per 769,000 women athletes of high school and college age are at risk for an exercise related death. Cardiac related deaths among young individuals was one per 185,000 men and one per 1.5 million women. A sudden cardiac death is one per 15,000-18,000 for adults who showed previous signs. Overall, six cardiac events were shown for every 10,000 tests, showing the risk is low for a cardiac related event to occur during exercise or exercise

Acute infection with fever, lymph gland inflammation or general body aches.
Relative Contraindications:
1. High degree atrioventricular block.
2. Elevated resting blood pressure; > 200 systolic or >110 diastolic.
3. Neuromotor, musculoskeletal, or rheumatoid disorders that are exacerbated by exercise.

The difference between absolute and relative contraindications deal with the decision to continue exercise or to stop exercise. When you have an absolute contraindication, you want to discontinue exercise immediately because continuing with exercise can be harmful to the patient. With a relative contraindication, you will want to monitor the patient very closely to make sure the exercise testing does not become dangerous for the patient to continue.

6. (3 pts) what is RPE and why do we use it? (Please provide a short paragraph on the importance of RPE) RPE stands for Rate of Perceived Exertion and is used to determine how the patient is feeling during each stage of the protocol. The RPE correlates to the intensity of the exercise and how hard the patient feels their body is working. It is a tool to be able to self-monitor during the exercise so the physician who is running the test knows where the patient is and how much more they can

    Only recently, due to the comforts of the industrialized world, has exercise’s value been fully realized. This statement combined with a plethora of scientific research from credible sources such as the CDC, demonstrating the importance of exercise and the contrast in health between those who partake in exercise and those who do not, appeals to the reader’s logic. The historical context and the modern scientific research working in tandem allow the reader to deduce the importance of exercise and its health implications, and by association, the importance of a pill that could replace…

    Muscular Fatigue Lab

    Within this lab we studied and compared the quantity of effort throughout intermittent and continuous exercise on a cycle ergometer. The time to fatigue, and recovery time was also considered during each type of exercise. To look at muscular fatigue in this lab we used a sub maximal test, this was used because maximal tests can be harmful to participants. Muscular endurance can be described as the ability of a muscle or muscle groups to do continual muscular contractions with resistance, when the muscle can no longer work at a given rate that is fatigue. Muscles that fatigue quickly have low endurance, muscles that take time to fatigue can be categorised as muscles with high endurance.…

    Everyone knows regular, daily exercise is beneficial to the heart. It helps reduce the risk of heart disease, maintains a healthy body weight, lowers blood pressure, and improves cholesterol. A difference of appearance can be identified between the hearts of people who exercise routinely and those of highly trained athletes. Athletic hearts undergo cardiac remodeling of chambers and physiological changes as a result of extreme conditions placed on the heart over a long period of time. The heart adapts to these conditions by increasing in chamber size and wall thickness to eject more blood to the rest of the body.…

    Coronary Artery Analysis

    • 3 Pages

    The heart muscle itself has its own set of arteries, capillaries, and veins, as does every other organ in the body. They are called the coronary arteries and veins since they encircle the heart. Coronary arteries are supplied with oxygenated blood from the aorta to the myocardium to keep contracting. The left coronary artery feeds most of the left ventricle, the septum and much of the conduction system. The right coronary artery feeds the right side of the heart, including the sinoatrial (SA) nodes.…

    This is measured using a sphygmomanometer wrapped around the upper arm, over the brachial artery, which is inflated. Once the inflation of the cuff has caused a constriction of blood flow, the air is slowly released to enable the blood to flow again, 2 measurements are then taken; systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic pressure is the maximum level the blood pressure reaches when the heart beats and diastolic pressure is the minimum level your blood pressure reaches when the heart relaxes. Andrea has recorded her blood pressure before exercise as 119/78 and one minute after exercise as 126/76. The blood pressure of a healthy adult is around 120/80.…
