Referring M.D.: Dr. Echo                                                      Ref. Site: Cardiology Associates

 

STUDY: Treadmill Stress Test                                            Study Quality: Excellent             

           

PATIENT HISTORY:

Cardiac:  Transient Ischemia attack

Non-Cardiac: COPD

 

INDICATIONS/REASON FOR STRESS TEST:

The patient was referred to the Echocardiography Department for evaluation of transient ischemia attack.

 

STUDY SUMMARY

 

A treadmill exercise test was performed utilizing the Bruce protocol for 12  minutes. Heart rate changed from 73 beats per minute to 173 beats per minute, which is 100% of the maximum predicted heart rate. The blood pressure changed from 104/70 mm/Hg at baseline to 160/90 mm/Hg at peak exercise.

Maximum stage achieved was 4 at a speed of 6 mph and a grade of 12%.

Reason for ending test: Fatigue.

Maximum workload attained was 13 METS.


 

The resting ECG showed normal rhythm. The peak exercise ECG showed no significant abnormalities.
