The patient exercised in the treadmill for a total of 10 minutes, reaching stage 3 of the Standard Bruce Protocol achieving an estimated workload of 10.1 METS. The resting heart rate was 79 BPM and increased to 169 BPM at peak exercise, representing 100% of age predicted maximum heart rate. The target heart rate for this patient was 167. The resting blood pressure was 110/70 mmhg and at peak exercice was 128/72 mmhg.The blood pressure response to exercise was: normal / hypertensive / hypotensive.
Duke treadmill score 6
Rest: Normal LV size
Normal resting wall motion
Stress
Proper augmentation of all LV wall segments-yes
Overall stress EF 60%
