higher
Term
pulmonary response is _____ efficient in kids
Definition
less
Term
heart dissipation is ____ efficient in kids
Definition
less
Term
why should you exercise test kids?
Definition
measure physical working capacity, use as a diagnostic test, assesses and differentiates symptoms, instills confidence in child and parent
Term
children should always be tested on a 
Definition
treadmill
Term
Pedaling rates in kids should be the ____
Definition
same
Term
protocol for test depend upon
Definition
goals, measurements to be obtained, whether submax or max is required, abilities, limitations

Definition
.7 - .8
Term
For those elderly patients with expected low work capacities, the initial workload should be ____ and workload increments should be _____
Definition
low 2-3 METs; small .5-1.0
Term
PVD is a form of
Definition
atherosclerosis
Term
PVD risk factors
Definition
diabetes, smoking, HTN, hyperlipidemia, abnormal homocysteine levels 
Term
3 main tests used on PVD patients
Definition
constant load, graded tm protocol, functional status measures
Term
do not exercise test diabetes patient if
Definition
blood glucose >300 mg/dl or >240 w/ ketones in urine
Term
diabetics should consume carbs if blood glucose is 
Definition
<100
Term
exercise should be performed when insulin effects are _____ and blood glucose is _____
Definition
low; rising
Term
individuals with _____ should be tested sub maximally
Definition
autonomic neuropathy
Term
Probability of testing results
Definition

-The test itself cannot be the only determining factor of whether or not an individual has this particular disease

-Its also the probability of them actually having this disease before the test even begins

Term
Bayes' theorem
Definition
The post-test probability of having disease is determined by the disease probability BEFORE the test (symptoms, age, gender, and presence of major risk factors) and the probability that the test will provide a true result
Term
sensitivity
Definition
%pop that tested positive for disease
Term
specificity
Definition
%pop who are healthy and tested negative for disease
Term
typical or definite angine presence of symptoms
Definition

substernal chest discomfort that may radiate to the back, jaw, or arms

symptoms provoked by exertion or emotional stress and relieved by rest and or nitroglycerin

Term
atypical angina
Definition
chest discomfort that lacks one of the mentioned characteristics of typical angina
Term
Assessing hemodynamics
Definition
assessed by the heart rate and systolic BP/diastolic BP responses
Term
ECG Waveforms interpretations
Definition
particularly ST-segment displacement and supraventricular and ventricular dysrhythmias
Term

suppression of resting dysrhythmias during exercise ________ presence of underlying CVD

Definition
do not

Definition
age
Term
a ____ in HR early in recovery after a symptom-limited max exercise test is also a powerful predictor of overall mortality
Definition
