  1. EXERCISE STRESS TEST Physiology and Protocol, Indications and Contraindications DN

  2. Essential ET Terminology • Performance of the E S T • Assess Exercise Test Responses • Interpretation Of The Exercise Stress Test

  3. Exercise Test Terminology • Vo2max • METs • Myocardial Oxygen Consumption

  4. Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) • Greatest amount of oxygen an individual utilizes with maximal exercise (ml O2 /kg/ min) • “Gold Standard” for cardiorespiratory fitness • Fick Equation Vo2max = (HRmax x SVmax) x (CaO2max - CvO2max)

  5. Diffusion Ventilation Perfusion FICK EQUATION (220 - Age) Sinus Node Dysfunction Drugs (e.g., B - blockers) PaO2 Hgb [ ] SaO2 Genetic Factors (Heart Size) Conditioning Factors Contractility/Afterload/Preload Disease Factors Wall Motion/Ventricular Fn, Valve Stenosis or Regur • Skeletal Muscles • Aerobic Enzymes • Fiber Type • Muscle Disease • Cap density VO2max = (HRmaxX SVmax) X (CaO2max - CvO2max)

  6. MET • Metabolic Equivalent Term • 1 MET = "Basal" aerobic oxygen consumption to stay alive = 3.5 ml O2 /Kg/min • inf- thyroid status, post exercise, obesity, disease states

  7. MET Values • 1 MET = "Basal" = 3.5 ml O2 /Kg/min • 2 METs = 2 mph on level • 4 METs = 4 mph on level • < 5METs = Poor prognosis if < 65;

  8. 10 METs = prognosis with med therapy = CABG 13 METs = Excellent prognosis 16 METs = Aerobic master athlete

  9. Calculation of METs on the Treadmill METs = Speed x [0.1 + (Grade x 1.8)] + 3.5 3.5 Calcul automatically by device Speed in meters/minute = MPH x 26.8 Grade expressed as a fraction

  10. Myocardial (MO2) • Accurate measurement - cardiac catheterization • Coronary Flow x Coronary (a – v)O2 diff • HR, SBP, LVEDV, CONTRACTILITY, WALL THICKNESS .

  11. Myocardial Oxygen Consumption • Indirectly measured as the “Double Product” • “Double Product” = HR x SBP • A normal value is greater than 20,000 – 25,000 • < 20,000 is low heart work load • > 29,000 indicates high heart work load • Angina & ST↓occur at the same DP for an individual

  12. Types of Exercise • Isometric (Static) -weight-lifting -pressure work for heart, limited cardiac output • Isotonic (Dynamic) -walking, running, swimming, cycling -Flow work for heart -↑CO,↓ TPR • Mixed

  13. Exercise physiology • Sympathetic activation • Parasympathetic withdrawal • Vasoconstriction, except in- • Exercising muscles • Cerebral circulation • Coronary circulation • ↑norepinephrine and renin

  14. Exercise physiology • ↑ventri contractility • ↑O2 extraction(upto 3) • ↓peripheral resistance • ↑SBP,MBP,PP • DBP –no significant change • Pulmvasc bed can accommodate 6 fold CO • CO - ↑ 4-6 times

  15. Exercise physiology Isotonic exercise(cardiac output) • Early phase- SV+HR • Late phase-HR

  16. V02 peak Oxygen consumption (liters/min) • peak oxygen consumption-age, sex, &training level of the person performing the exercise • The plateau in peak oxygen consumption-Vo2 max • Vo2 maxis limited by 1)the ability to del O2 to sk. muscles 2)muscle oxidative capacity . (VO2max) Work rate (watts)

  17. Respiration during exercise • dynamic exercise- ventilation increases linearly over the mild to moderate range, then >rapidly in intense exercise • workload at which rapid ventilation occures is called the ventilatory breakpoint(together with lactate threshold) Lactate acidifies the blood, driving off CO2 and increasing ventilatory rate

  18. BP rise in exercise • (SBP) ↑up to 150-170 mm Hg during dynamic exercise;diastolic rarely alters • isometric - SBP may ≥250 mmHg, and DBP can reach 180

  19. Intense exerciseGlycolysis>aerobic metabolism  ↑ blood lactate Blood lactic acid (mM) Lactate threshold; endurance estimation Relative work rate (% V02 max)

  20. Age Pred Max HR • APMHR=220 - age in years\ • APMHR=200-1/2 age • MHR ↓ with age • Lower/higher than actual value(+/_12beats) • Not used as an indicator of max exertion in EST/ Indi to terminate test

  21. .

  22. Post exercise phase • Vagal reactivation -Imp-cardiac deccelerationmech • ↑in well trained athletes • Blunted in CCF

  23. Exercise Stress Testing • Pathophysiology: • At rest- adequate coronary blood flow • with exercise-supply\demand mismatch -ST segment changes • 70-80%occlusion - detection by EST • Sign CAD can exist with a -VE Exercise Stress Test.

  24. Treadmill protocol EST- stand protocols to progressively ↑ cardiovascular work load in a uniform and reproducible way • Bruce protocol • Naughton protocol • Weber protocol • ACIP(asymptomatic cardiac ischemia pilot) • Modified ACIP

  25. The Bruce protocol • 1949 by Robert A. Bruce, considered the “father of exercise physiology”. • Published as a standardized protocol in 1963. • gold-standard for detection of myocardial ischemia when risk stratification is necessary.

  26. BRUCE Protocol

  27. Peak Vo2 is the same regardless of the protocol useddiff – rate at which it is achieved

  28. Procedure • Standard 12 lead ECG- leads • Torso ECG + BP • Supine and Sitting / standing • HR ,BP ,ECG • Before,after,stage • Onset of ischemic response • Each min recovery(5-10 mints)

  29. Procedure- Lead systems • Mason-Liker modification-extremity electrodes moved to torso 2 ↓ motion artifacts • RAD • ↑inf lead voltage • Loss of inf lead q • New Q in AVL

  30. Contraindications to Exercise Testing Absolute • A/c MI (< 2 d) • High-risk unstable angina • Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias causing symptoms or hemocompromise • Symptomatic severe AS • Uncontrolled symptomatic CCF • Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction • A/c myocarditis or pericarditis • A/c Aodissection

  31. Contraindications to Exercise Testing Relative • LMCA stenosis • Mod- stenotic VHD • Electrolyte abnormalities • Sev HTN • Tachyarrhythmias or bradyarrhythmias • HOCM and other outflow tract obstructions • Mental or physical impairment leading to inability to exercise adequately • High-degree AV block

  32. SAFETY & RISKS In nonselected pat pop-mortality- .01% -morbidity-.05% In k/c CAD- 1 C.arrest/59000 person hours -AMI in 1.4 / 10000 tests Arrythmias-AF-Mc-9/10,000 tests -VT-6/10,000 tests -VF- .6/10,000 tests Deaths& MI estimated occur in 1 of 25000 tests

  33. Bayes' theorem A theory of probability The post test probability is proportional to the pretest probability To diagnose, test sensitivity ,specificity& prevalence in the population being tested req

  34. Sensitivity- a person with the disease having a positive test. • Specificity-person without the disease having a negative test. • Prevalence- % in the population having disease.

  35. Pretest Probability • Based on the pat's h/o ( age, gender, chest pain ), phy ex and initial testing, and the clinician's experience. • Typical or definite angina →pretest probability high - test result does not dramatically change the probability. • Diag power maximal when the pretest probability is intermediate-30-70%

  36. Classification of chest pain • Typical angina • Atypical angina • Noncardiac chest pain • Substernal chest discomfort with characterstic quality and duration • Provoked by exertion or emotional stress • Relieved by rest or NTG Meets 2 of the above characteristics Meets one or none of the typical characteristics
