Chapter 6 Stress Test

This is a test that uses ultrasound imaging to show how well your heart muscle is working to pump blood to your body.

• Stress echocardiography

• Dobutamine testing

• Treadmill stress test

• Bicycle stress test

This will show myocardial supply and demand issues, ischemia, WMA, valvular abnormalities and other heart related issues.

• Stress echocardiography

• Dobutamine test

• Hemodynamic effects

• Contrast agents

True or False

Exercise SE is preferred over pharmacological SE

• True

• False

What isn't a purpose of a contrast agent?

• Improve endocardial border delineation for technically difficult studies

• Improves the assessment of wall motion and wall thickening

• Makes it easier to see structural abnormalities in technically difficult studies

• Seeing where shunts are throughout the heart

• IV is required pharmacological SE or contrast agent

This is a non pathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal.

• Athletic heart disease

• Athletic heart syndrome

• Athletic foot syndrome

• Athletic foot disease

The SE should not be performed under any circumstances.

• Absolute contraindication

• Relative contraindication

• Negative contraindication

• Positive contraindication

If the physician determines that the benefit outweighs the risk, the SE is performed with extreme caution.

• Absolute contraindication

• Relative contraindication

• Negative contraindication

• Positive contraindication
