exercise stress testmetabolic equivalentsExercise testing represents the preferred stress modality for individuals undergoing evaluation of suspected myocardial ischemia. Individuals with limited functional status may be unable to achieve an adequate exercise stress, thus influencing the diagnostic sensitivity of ...

The method of claim 11, further comprising: initially treating the subject for depression or anxiety by administering an effective amount sufficient to attenuate, reduce, or eliminate the symptoms of depression or anxiety of one or more of antidepressants, cognitive behavior therapy, exercise, di...
The term “heart failure,” as used herein, means impaired cardiac function that renders the heart unable to maintain the normal blood output at rest or with exercise, or to maintain a normal cardiac output in the setting of normal cardiac filling pressure. A left ventricular ejection fraction ...
However, PROMIS PF-SF12a has not been validated against exercise capacity, or compared with established questionnaires, including the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI). We compared the DASI and PROMIS PF-SF12a to the maximum metabolic equivalents (METs) achieved during exercise stress testing. ...
Patients referred for cardiovascular stress testing with limited functional capacity due to age, deconditioning, or clinical comorbidities may be unable to achieve an adequate exercise stress level to render a diagnostic cardiovascular stress test. The Bruce treadmill protocol is the current clinic...
Case 7A 66-year-old asymptomatic obese male with a recent positive exercise treadmill stress test performed as part of a comprehensive physical examination. Subsequent stress-rest myocardial perfusion scintigraphy demonstrated inferior wall ischemia. Coronary CTA wasGA Toomayan...
