Increase in artefacts is visible on comparing the raw rhythm at the bottom of the image.<br \/>\nResponse of accessory pathway conduction to exercise gives useful information on the rate at which anterograde preexcitation is blocked.<br \/>\nThis measurement has been correlated with those made at electrophysiology study and may predict the potential risk of rapid anterograde conduction if the person develops atrial fibrillation.<br \/>\nIf the preexcitation disappears in response to exercise, it can be assumed that they have a relatively low risk for atrial fibrillation with very rapid ventricular rates due to preexcitation.<br \/>\nQT prolongation and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias with exercise are another important aspect of exercise testing in children.<br \/>\nThough the QT interval should shorten with exercise, it may not do so in some of the congenital long QT syndromes.<br \/>\nVentricular arrhythmias during exercise can be documented in congenital long QT syndromes as well as in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.<br \/>\nAn ECG showing exercise induced monomorphic ventricular tachycardia<br \/>\nTracing during recovery showing that the tachycardia has subsided, but ventricular ectopics are occurring in a trigeminal pattern with an R on T phenomenon.<br \/>\nBidirectional ventricular tachycardia is the classical arrhythmia noted in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Tracing shows bidirectional ventricular ectopics.<br \/>\nThough treadmill exercise produces higher peak heart rates, better quality electrocardiograms can be recorded with bicycle exercise because of lesser body motion which could produce baseline shifts and other artifacts.<br \/>\nMaximal oxygen uptake is about 10% higher with treadmill exercise than a bicycle ergometer. An advantage of treadmill is that most people are familiar with walking or running, including young children.<br \/>\nBut exercise on a treadmill is not a natural form of walking or running for a person not familiar with exercise on a moving surface. Hence time for practice on the treadmill should be provided before testing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discussion on pediatric exercise testing.
