Type of CPX1.Max. Execise test2.Submaximal exercise testing
1. In this strategy, the patients exercise enough to achieve 70% of maximum predicted heart rate for their age (ie, 70% of 220 minus age in years).
2. This test is commonly performed prior to discharge and is followed by maximal exercise testing 6-8 weeks later (when patients aim to achieve 90% of maximum predicted heart rate)
3.Symptom-limited exercise testing1. The patients exercise soon after a cardiac event.2. A representative schedule might begin exercise at
intervals, such as 7-21 days following uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction (MI), 3-10 days following angioplasty, or 14-28 days after bypass surgery.

Key Points of Exercise Testing
• Manual SBP measurement (not automated) most important for safety
• Adjust to clinical history• No Age predicted Heart Rate Targets• The BORG Scale of Perceived Exertion• METs• Fit protocol to patient (RAMP)• Use standard ECG analysis/ 3 minute recovery/
use scores• Heart rate recovery • Expired Gas Analysis?

Types of Exercise Isometric (Static)
–weight-lifting–pressure work for heart, limited cardiac output, proportional to effort
Isotonic (Dynamic)–walking, running, swimming, cycling–Flow work for heart, proportional to external work
Mixed

Problems with Age-Predicted Maximal Heart Rate
Which Regression Formula? (220 - ..5 x Age) Confounded by Beta Blockers A percent value target will be maximal for some and sub-max for others
Borg scale is better for evaluating Effort Do Not Use Target Heart Rate to Terminate the Test or as the Only Indicator of Effort or adequacy of test

– 1 MET equals +/- 3.5 ml O2 consumption per kg of body weight per minute (at rest, all pts are at 1 MET)
• Anaerobic threshold (AT)• VD/VT• Breathing reserve (1 – [VEmax/MVV]
![Page 23: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Oxygen Consumption During Dynamic Exercise TestingThere are Two Types to Consider:
Myocardial (MO2)–Internal, Cardiac
Ventilatory (VO2)–External, Total Body
![Page 24: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Myocardial (MO2)
Systolic Blood Pressure x HR
SBP should rise > 40 mmHg
Drops are ominous (Exertional Hypotension)
Diastolic BP should decline
![Page 25: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ventilatory (VO2) Cardiac Output x a-VO2 Difference
VE x (% Inspired Air Oxygen Content - Expired Air Oxygen Content)
External Work Performed
****Direct relationship with Myocardial O2 demand and Work is altered by beta-blockers, training,...

Types Of Tests protocols
• Treadmill tests• Bruce or Ellestad - good for young folks
because the between-stage graduations of grade and speed are more aggressive
• USAFSAM or Naughton - good for older folks because of the more gradual between-stage progressions of grade and speed

Should Heart Rate Recovery be added to ET?
Long known as a indicator of fitness: perhaps better for assessing physical activity than METsRecently found to be a predictor of prognosis after clinical treadmill testingStudies to date have used all-cause mortality
![Page 43: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Heart Rate Drop in Recovery
Probably not more predictive than Duke Treadmill Score or METs
Should be calculated along with Scores as part of all treadmill tests

What is a MET?
![Page 47: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
What is a MET?
Metabolic Equivalent Term
1 MET = "Basal" aerobic oxygen consumption to stay alive = 3.5 ml O2
/Kg/min
Actually differs with thyroid status, post exercise, obesity, disease states
But by convention just divide ml O2/Kg/min by 3.5
![Page 48: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Key MET Values (part 1)
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; limit immediate post MI; cost of basic activities of daily living
![Page 49: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Key MET Values (part 2)
10 METs = As good a prognosis with medical therapy as CABS
13 METs = Excellent prognosis, regardless of other exercise responses
16 METs = Aerobic master athlete
20 METs = Aerobic athlete
![Page 50: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Calculation of METs on the Treadmill
METs = Speed x [0.1 + (Grade x 1.8)] + 3.5 3.5
Calculated automatically by Device!
Note: Speed in meters/minute conversion = MPH x 26.8 Grade expressed as a fraction
![Page 51: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
METs-(Report Exercise Capacity in METs)
Optimize Test by Individualizing for Patient
Adjust test to 8-10 minute duration (aerobic capacity--not endurance)
Use prognostic power of METs
![Page 52: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Estimated vs Measured METs
All Clinical Applications based on Estimated Estimated Affected by:
Habituation (Serial Testing) Deconditioning and Disease State
Measured Requires a Mouthpiece and Delicate Equipment
Measured More Accurate and Permits measurement of Gas Exchange Anaerobic Threshold and Other Mxments (VE/VCO2)

AHA/ACC Exercise Testing Guidelines: Recommendations for
Exercise Testing
Prognosis with symptoms/CAD
![Page 74: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
The ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Prognostic Use of the Standard Exercise Test
Indications for Exercise Testing to Assess Risk and prognosis in patients with symptoms or a prior history of coronary artery disease:
Class I. Should be used:Patients undergoing initial evaluation with suspected or known CAD. Specific exceptions are noted below in Class IIb.
Patients with suspected or known CAD previously evaluated with significant change in clinical status.
![Page 75: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Prognostic Use, continued:
Class IIb. Maybe Appropriate for:Patients who demonstrate the following ECG abnormalities:
Pre-excitation (WPW) syndrome;Electronically paced ventricular rhythm;More than one millimeter of resting ST
depression; andLBBB.
Patients with a stable clinical course who undergo periodic monitoring to guide management

Prognostic Use, continued:
Class IIa. Probably Appropriate: None
Class III. Should not be used for prognostication:
Patients with severe co-morbidity likely to limit life and/or consideration for revascularization procedures

Problems with max tests in average/less fit subjects
1. May not be accustomed to exercise at severe levels, so may not reach maximum
2. On a bike, need strong quads, so lightly built subjects, possibly most female subjects, will lack strength to reach VO2max
3. Can use treadmill, but significant minority find treadmill disorienting or have balance problems
![Page 80: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Submaximal exercise tests
Most follow this pattern:
Subjects does standardised work scheduleHeart rate is measuredWork capacity at age-predicted heart rate max is calculatedOxygen consumption at work rate calculated for HRmax is estimated from average relation between VO2 and work rate for the test could use a short “ramp” test
![Page 81: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Drawbacks of submaximal tests:
Assume reliable HR-VO2 relation across subjects (1 point tests) or linearity of HR relation for multi-point tests
Depend on estimating age-related HRmax.(error +/- 10%)
Assume same VO2-work relation in all subjects, i.e. constant efficiency
Are subject to error from fluctuations in HR due to time of day, eating patterns, uncontrolled stressors.
McArdle estimates a typical submax test can only give VO2max estimates to within +/- 16%
![Page 82: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Field Tests
• 12 min run– VO2 = 3.126 (meters in 12 min) - 11.3
• 1.5 mile run– VO2 = 3.5 + 483/(time in minutes)
• Rockport Walking Test (1 mile walk)– VO2 = 132.853 - 0.1692 (BW in kg) - 0.3877 (age in y)
+ 6.315 (gender) - 3.2649 (time in min) - 0.1565 (HR)
– 0 for female; 1 for male; HR at end of walk

Heart rate variability during exerciseBest by beat variability falls during exercise. This is due to reduction in vagal (parasympathetic) drive to the heart. Part of the way heart rate is increased (NB other factors are increased sympathetic drive and circulating adrenaline)

Non-exercise methods 2.
Use just age, gender, level of physical activity, perceived functional ablility (latter two from simple questionnaires). Claimed can estimate fitness to within +/- 3.4 ml/min.kg (SEE, standard error of estimate, so 5% confidence limit about 7 ml/min.kg). This appears better than any of the “real” tests, so some doubt that comparisons are being made in a fair way….

Monitoring change in fitness
Submax exercise tests are much more reliable on repeat testing in the same individual. So for following the effect of an “exercise for health” individual programme, they are fine. But in this situation may be better to forget VO2max altogether. Simply follow trend in final heart rate for a standard exercise, e.g. short step test or timed walk test.
![Page 88: Exercise Test PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547f01b05906b5bf718b477b/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
SummaryFitness levels vary markedly between individuals and are highly predictive of future health.
Need simple methods to monitor fitness in individuals and in populations
Various sub-max tests are suitable for this purpose. However, because of inherent non-linearities in the underlying physiology, will have low accuracy.
For reliable VO2max estimates in a performance context or clinically, need a maximum test.
