ACC/AHA 2002 ETT Indication
Class I (Indicated)
• Intermediate prob
CAD
• including RBBB,
<1mm resting ST
depression
Class III (Not indicated)
• Pre-excitation
• V-paced
• >1mm resting ST dep
• LBBB
• Diagnosis for pt w/
established CAD
MI or death 1 per 2500
Contraindications to ETT
• Acute myocardial infarction (<2 days)
• Unstable angina with recent rest pain
• Untreated life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias
• Advanced atrioventricular block
• Acute myocarditis or pericarditis
• Critical aortic stenosis or severe IHSS
• Uncontrolled hypertension
• Acute systemic illness (PE, dissection, anemia, thyroid, fever, etc.)
Exercise Treadmill Testing- Protocols
Standard Bruce Protocol
Stage Min MPH Grade METS
I 03:00 1.7 10% 5
II 03:00 2.5 12% 7
III 03:00 3.4 14% 10
IV 03:00 4.2 16% 13.5
V 03:00 5.0 18% 16+
*3 minute stages
Variations
Modified Bruce Protocol
2 warm-up stages
Naughton Protocol
fixed speed
Submaximal ETT
Not to exceed 5 METS
Not to exceed 70%
MPHR
Diagnosis of Ischemia
Positive test
– 1mm horizontal or down sloping ST segment depression 0.06-0.08msec after the j-point
(5% w/ CAD meet criteria in recovery alone)
– Lateral leads (V4-V6)
Up sloping
Horizontal
Down sloping
Adequate stress: 85% max predicted HR (220-age)
Decreased Specificity
• LVH with repolarization abnormalities
– Decreased specificity with no change in sensitivity
• Resting ST depression > 1mm
• LBBB
• RBBB (diagnostic accuracy preserved in V5, V6, II, AVF
• Digoxin
– ST depression in 25-40% of healthy subjects
– 2 weeks required washout
Non-coronary Causes of ST
segment depression
• Severe aortic stenosis
• Severe hypertension
• Cardiomyopathy
• Anemia
• Hypokalemia
• Severe hypoxia
• Digitalis use
• Sudden excessive
exercise
• Glucose load
• Left ventricular hypertrophy
• Hyperventilation
• Mitral valve prolapse
• Intraventricular conduction defect
• Preexcitation syndrome
• Severe volume overload
• Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias
Prognostic Markers
• Maximal exercise capacity
• Chronotropic incompetence
• HR recovery
• Risk scores
Exercise Capacity
MET= 02 uptake of 70kg
man at rest for 1 min
=3.5ml O2/kg/min
Exercise capacity is
one of the strongest
prognostic markers
Encompasses many
different factors
Each 1 MET increase =
12% increased
survival

ETT in asymptomatic pts
Class I
• None.
Class IIa
• Evaluation of asymptomatic persons with diabetes mellitus who plan to start vigorous exercise (see page 39). (Level of Evidence: C)
Class IIb
• Evaluation of persons with multiple risk factors as a guide to risk-reduction therapy.*
• Evaluation of asymptomatic men older than 45 years and women older than 55 years:
– Who plan to start vigorous exercise (especially if sedentary) or
– Who are involved in occupations in which impairment might impact public safety or
– Who are at high risk for CAD due to other diseases (e.g., peripheral vascular disease and chronic renal failure)
Class III
• Routine screening of asymptomatic men or women.
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Vasodilator

Myocardial Perfusion Testing

Stress
Heterogeneous
Perfusion
Vasodilators
• Dipyridamole– Increases adenosine levels
– 50% with side effects, last 15-25 minutes
• Adenosine– Coronary vasodilation via A2A receptor
– 140mcg/kg/min x 6min
– 80% with side effects: flushing 40%, AV block (7.6%), hypotension (5%), <10sec ½ life
– CP non-specific
– 1mmST depression 5-7%>CAD
• Regadenoson– A2A agonist with lower affinity for receptors >
side effects
– Side effets of SOB, headache, flushing, last 15-30 min
– Single 5ml injection
Contra-indications
• AV block (2nd or 3rd)
•Bronchospasm
•Methyl xanthines
•ACS
Myocardial Perfusion Testing
(Nuclear: SPECT)
Protocol (Dual Isotope)
• Resting images after Thallium-201
injection
• Stress, with Technetium-99 injected at
peak exercise (Cardiolite/Myoview)
• Post-stress images (with gated SPECT)

Hauser et al. JACC 1985;5:193
Post-balloon inflation
Dobutamine Echo
Mechanisms of Action
– β1 agonist– inotropy and
chronotropy (some
vasodilatation)
– induces ischemia at lower
RPP than ETT, (RPP
approximately 16-20K)
– Begin at 10mcg/kg/min,
increasing to 40 mcg/kgmin
Side Effects
– 3:1000 serious side effects
• MI
• Ventricular fibrillation
– Atrial / Ventricular
arrhythmia
– Hypertension
– Hypotension (cavity
obliteration)
– Headache / Tremor
Comparing SECHO and MPI
Advantages Disadvantages
MPI (Nuclear)
Detects abnl flow reserve
Peak-exercise images
acquired
Most studies complete
Quantified LVEF and
volumes
Longer time than secho
Radiation
Lower spatial resolution
Inferior wall diff to eval
Balanced ischemia missed
SECHO
Safe
No radiation
Portable, faster
Structural information
Peak-exercise images
difficult to acquire
False-neg w/ rapid recovery
Ischemic response needed
15% cannot assess entire
myocardium
