Slide 1-

Exercise Testing and Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Vital Introduction This presentation introduces exercise testing's role in assessing heart health. Cardiac rehabilitation offers a long-term program for improved health. Experience improved cardiovascular function, fewer symptoms, and better life quality.
Slide 2-

Goals of Exercise Testing and Cardiac Rehabilitation Evaluate Function Assess cardiovascular abilities and limitations precisely. Individualized Exercise Develop tailored exercise plans for each patient's needs. Reduce Risk Lessen cardiovascular disease risk factors effectively. Improve Well-being Enhance physical and mental health comprehensively.
Slide 3-

Exercise Physiology: Understanding Movement Cardiorespiratory Response Heart rate and stroke volume increase. Oxygen extraction improves efficiently. Cardiac output rises significantly. Metabolic Adaptations Fat shifts to carbohydrate metabolism. Lactate production and buffering increase.
Slide 4-

Maximum Oxygen Uptake (VO2max): A Key Metric Definition Maximum oxygen use during exercise. Significance The gold standard for fitness measurement. Clinical Uses Helps with prognosis, risk, and prescriptions.
Slide 5-

Assessing VO2max: Testing Protocols GXT Selection Choose Bruce, Balke, or Naughton. Equipment Setup Use treadmill, metabolic cart, ECG. Individualize Base on patient traits and goals.
Slide 6-

Exercise Testing Procedures: A Step-by-Step Guide Pre-Test Assess history and get consent. 1 Monitor Track ECG, BP, HR, and RPE. 2 Terminate Stop for angina or exhaustion. 3 Recover Cool-down and monitor still. 4
Slide 7-

Exercise Testing Equipment: A Closer Look Treadmills Brands like Quinton, Trackmaster. Ergometers Mechanically or electronically braked. Metabolic Carts Measure VO2 and VCO2 precisely.
Slide 8-

Stress Testing Protocols: Examples and Considerations 1 Bruce 2 Modified Bruce 3 Naughton
Slide 9-

Stress Testing and Imaging: Enhancing Accuracy 1 Echo Wall motion during stress assessed. 2 Nuclear (SPECT) Evaluates perfusion during stress.
Slide 10-

Conclusion: Integrating Exercise and Rehab Essential Assess function. Cornerstone Secondary prevention. Improves Patient outcomes.
