Question 20.      Question :           Specifically, when is an ETT considered to be negative?

 

:                               Patient has ST-segmental changes with down sloping of greater than 1 mm at 50% of age-predicted maximum heart rate

Patient exercises to 20% maximum age-predicted heart rate without induced ischemia

Patient exercises to 85% of age predicted maximum heart rate without evidence of induced ischemia

Patient exercises until tired without evidence of induced ischemia

Question 23.      Question :           Your patient has a maximum age-predicted heart rate of 180. During the exercise, he reaches a heart rate of 140 and then states he can no longer exercise. You see no evidence of ischemia on the ECG. This would be diagnostic for what condition?

 

:                               Diagnostic of laziness

 

Has no diagnostic value to rule out CAD (This scenario has no diagnostic value to rule out CAD.)

Diagnostic for impending Myocardial Infarction

 

Predictive of no CAD

Question 27.      Question :           Your preceptor decides to add Doppler Flow studies to the echocardiogram exercise test for a patient with a recent history of a holistic murmur best auscultated at the left steral boarder. The patient has no history of cardiac surgeries. He asks you what might be the main advantages of adding Doppler Flow for this particular patient. You know from your readings that there are several reasons to add Doppler Flow and below are listed more than one correct reason. Your best response for this specific case, however, would be that Doppler Flow studies would be of what additive value during the echocardiogram study?

 

:                               Detect and evaluate blood shunting from a septal defect                                              Gives better screen shots of wall abnormalities

 

Provides assessment of prosthetic valve function

 

No advantage is seen for this patient

Question 34.      Question :           After completion of the exercise stress test, you would measure the ST-segment depression after the J point of the QRS. The J point is located where in relation to the QRS?

 

:                               Immediately after the P wave

 

After the H point

 

Junction between P and R

 

Junction between QRS and ST segment

Question 35.      Question :           Why would inability to exercise reduce the specificity of the routine ETT?

 

:                               Will not produce any changes in ECG

 

Causes ST-segment changes and P-wave abnormalities

 

Produces persistent ST-segmental changes and T-wave abnormalities

Produces QRS changes that cannot be interpreted
