1310285 tn?1274484281 My husband had a VO2 Max test done this morning and his "score" was 28.5. The technician seemed very impressed with this, as he was in the hospital with an EF of 10% 4 weeks ago. But as he is looking up charts on VO2 Max results online he is finding that this score is actually in the poor range (he is a 37 year old)...so can someone provide some insight on what this really means? We are very confused...
Avatar m tn Peak VO2 (ml/kg/min) was measured at 26.6 METs at peak was measured at 7.6 Peak O2-Pulse (ml/beat) measured at 9 AT (ml/kg/min) measured at 14.

Avatar f tn 3 METS. For a female, aged 41 years old this puts you at about the 29th percentile. Your VO2 max (which is mL blood per kg of body weight your body can utilize per minute) is about 29mL/kg/min. The median percentile for your age and gender would have been about 32mL/kg/min, which correlates with a METS of about 9.1-9.2, and lasting about 8:10-8:15 on the Bruce test. Overall, your fitness is pretty close to average. Your VO2 max will go up if you weight less and down if you weigh more.
Avatar n tn for pre-testing for ablation scan showed alot of structual damage to the heart and my mitral valve has adhered to the back of my haert so they scrapped the ablation procedure because they said it wouldn`t improve my condition.My EF is 13-15 percent and my vo2 stress test came back with 14. Do you feel that I should be put on a transplant list if I qualify ?
1124887 tn?1313754891 Do not understand a non 12-lead stress test. Any stress test should show a beginning 12 lead stess test. Then of course watch for ekg changes such as S-T depression. Many times arrhymia will accur soon after exercise. Of course this could accur at anytime. Not taking this place of the professionals, but I have experienced, when working large muscles, in a different way than what I was use to, often tired me to no end. Short of breath, however, no palpitataions.
1310285 tn?1274484281 for someone who had an EF of 10% such a short time ago, 28 is much better than you would expect. Perhaps you are being a little bit impatient. His heart is not going to heal that quick, it will take months. Everything will start to improve and don't compare his results to 'normal' because his heart has suffered. Just give it time and don't get scared over it.
Avatar n tn My nuclear stress test results were as follows ver batim. I do not know what it means, are the results acceptable, good very good etc. What does this say about the blood flow to the heart muscle ? "injection of Myoview nuclear tracer & resting images obtained excercised on a treadmill for 5 min 34 sec. to 10.
1296191 tn?1280699873 As a general rule, a VO2 max less than 12-14 cc/kg/min indicates a poorer survival and suggests that the patient may be a candidate for a heart transplant. Patients with a VO2 max 35 from the CPX test. The heart failure survival score is a score calculated using a combination of clinical predictors and the VO2 max from the cardiopulmonary exercise test.
Avatar n tn nuclear stress test, stress echo, VO2/cardiopulmonary stress test, and there may be others of which I'm not aware. All of these can be done on a treadmill as you described. The one I recommended was a VO2 max (aka cardiopulmonary stress test). Here's more information on that, so you can figure out if that's what she had: http://www.chfpatients.com/tests/vo2.htm http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/fitnessevalandassessment/a/Bruce_Protocol.
Avatar m tn I did have a stress test. I don't remember my results exactly, but the doctor never told me anything was wrong with it. This was 2 years ago. My BP varies. Sometimes it would be 115/75, and sometimes it would be 90/50. And the way I feel isn't consistent with my BP. Sometimes my BP would be 115/75 and I would feel terrible, other times I would feel great. sometimes my BP is 90/50 and I feel terrible, other times I feel fine. I have never fainted, but I have felt faint many times...
Avatar m tn The exercise test was a cardiopulmonary exercise test (on a bike). This said I had a low VO2 max, but they cant find out why. The one on the treadmill was normal. Thanks for your comments and time!
Avatar f tn hello, I have had a treadmill test and am awaiting the results , I have heard the results are based on lots of different factors , but my question is ? , when a treadmill test is complete does the person doing the test calculate your time at when you reach 85% of you heart rate or the final time when you stop the test ?
Avatar f tn What does it mean when, during a exercise stress test (treadmill), they tell you to stop early? Is it most likely a good thing or a bad one? Details: Given a stress test for heart rate irregularities. Resting rate was around 80, and bp around 110/70. Between 3-6 min on the treadmill my bp was 170/80 and heartrate was over 140. At 7-8 minutes they told me I could stop because "they had all the information they needed." They said I would have the results in a couple of days.
Avatar m tn Hi, I used to post on here now and then, but haven't in a long time. I'm 22 and have a history of various arrhythmias and such. Anyways, something that has happened over the course of the past year kind of has me at a loss. I'm a runner, and a very serious runner, so I know exactly what my heart does and does not do in response to all kinds of situations from long runs, to easy runs, to tempos, to VO2 workouts, to racing all kinds of distances in all kinds of weather.
Avatar n tn I had an echo done which showed a small pericardial effusion, mildly dilated right ventricle, and mild tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation. I had a cardiac MRI and coronary CT which were normal. I had a pulmonary stress test which showed low Vo2. The cardiologists and pulmonologists I have seen do not know what is wrong with me. I am worried I have pulmonary hypertension or another serious cardiac or pulmonary disease. Are there any experts out there with any advice? Thanks.
Avatar n tn What the cardiologist is looking for on a stress test is achieving 85% of you max predicted heart rate. Once that is met, the test is usually terminated. In you case that would be 133 BPM (220-age)*.85). Mets is simply a calculation used to determine the amount of energy expended to calculate calories burned.
Avatar f tn My resting heart rate at the moment is about 48bpm and my max should be about 195-196 which I have tested before at uni doing vo2 max tests all of which my heart rate never exceeded 196. Today I did a very high intensity training session and my HR reached 210, which I found strange so I looked at my past training sessions and realized on 2 other occasions my HR reached even higher at 213 and 219bpm.
Avatar n tn Had a nuclear treadmill stress test done while taking the test the whole time the nurse held me up from behind 2 hands on back because i stated i had back problems and as soon as test started she began this procere is this comman practice?
