Stress: Protocol and Stage • Uses exercise or medication to increase the work of the heart – incremental stages • Continuous 12 lead ECG monitoring during study • Looking for changes in ECG (ST segments) or other clinical indicators Procedure Protocol Stages
Stress: Protocol and Stage • Procedure : Exercise Stress • Protocol: Bruce • Stages: • Standard Bruce has 7 stages • Stage 1: 1.7 mph @ 10 % grade • Stage 7: 6.0 mph @ 22 % grade Important Note: A procedure can be considered complete irrespective of the patient reaching the last protocol stage!
Acquisition Modalities • Echo – label images by stage and view • Nuclear – format and label images in accordance with NM Image Profile • Stress ECG – output waveforms and results as DICOM objects • DICOM 12-lead and general ECG • Structured Reports • Encapsulated PDF • All modalities – synchronized time, modality worklist and performed procedure step status
