Directions: Use the case study information below to answer the questions. Sex: Female Age: 37 Ethnicity: Hispanic Name: Anita B Strong Goals: Evaluate her resting cardiovascular profile prior to beginning an exercise program. She has no known cardiometabolic diseases or symptoms. Height: 5 feet 5 inches Weight: 173 lbs. Resting Blood Pressure (SBP/DBP): 116/72 mm/Hg Resting ECG:

Solution

1. Heart rate can be calculated as follows:

R-R interval is 22mm.

and 25mm corresponds to 1 sec

22mm would correspond to 22/25 sec = 0.88

Therefore, HR = 60/0.88 beats per minutes

68.18 beats per minute.

Heart rate falls within the normal range 60-100 beats per minute.

2.

a). Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) = (SBP-DBP)/3 + DBP

Systolic Blood Pressure:116 mm/Hg [90-140mm/Hg]

Diastolic Blood Pressure: 72 mm/Hg [60-90mm/Hg]

MAP= (116-72)/3 + 72

MAP= 86.67mm/Hg

MAP of 86.67 mm/Hg also lies within the normal range of 70-100 mm/Hg

b). Rate Pressure Product (RPP) = HR x SBP

RPP= 68.18 x 116 = 7908.88

[Normal range : 6000-12000]
