Accuracy of automated auscultatory blood pressure measurement during supine exercise and treadmill stress ECG-testing

چکیده
Objectives Monitoring of brachial blood pressure during exercise-ECG testing is mandatory and changes in blood pressure (BP) can provide critical management evidence. Patient movement, mechanical vibration, artifactual sounds and observer variability make standard manual techniques problematic. This was an investigator-initiated study to assess an automated auscultatory technique of BP assessment (Tango exercise blood pressure monitor [SunTech Medical Instruments, NC, USA]) to adequately measure BP during stress-ECG testing.

An auscultatory recording method for blood pressure measurement during exercise.
For inspective determination of blood pressure at rest and during exercise, simultaneous recordings of cuff pressure, Korotkov's sounds, and ECG by an electromagnetic oscillograph were necessary. We devised an apparatus in line with the requirement. Results obtained using this apparatus demonstrate that the auscultatory recording method is suitable to determine the blood pressure during submaxi...

متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Electrocardiogram in Predicting Exaggerated Blood Pressure Response to Exercise Stress Testing
INTRODUCTION It is believed that an exaggerated blood pressure response (EBPR) to exercise stress test is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. It is also assumed that QT dispersion (QT-d), which was originally proposed to measure the spatial dispersion of ventricular recovery times, may have a relationship to cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to examine t...

THE INTERPRETATION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC CHANGES in response to exercise testing is of established value in the early detection, diagnosis, and subsequent management of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD).'` The major emphasis placed on interpretation of the exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) has, however, tended to de-emphasize the value and significance of other commonly acquired exe...
متن کاملA study of variation in cardiocirculatory parameters with different body positions during isometric exercise in young adult males.
Introduction: To study the effects of exercise, how important it is to choose a posture? We aimed to characterize the possible impact of different body positions on cardiovascular parameters during and after sustained isometric handgrip (IHG) exercise. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study was carried out in 33 young adult males (mean age: 19.21±1.083 years). We recorded Bloo...
