VIII. Bronchodilators (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) Bronchodilators exercise<br />
capacity in patients limited<br />
by Bronchospasm<br />
Anticholinergic agents or (R and E) or HR<br />
May produce PVC’s<br />
(R and E)<br />
Sympathomimetic agents or (R and E) , or (R and E) or HR (R and E)<br />
Cromolyn sodium (R and E) (R and E) (R and E)<br />
Corticosteroids (R and E) (R and E) (R and E)<br />
IX. Hyperlipidemic agents Clofibrate may provoke arrhytmias, angina in patients with prior myocardial infarction<br />
Nicotinic agents may BP<br />
All other hyperlipidemic agents have no effect on HR, BP, and ECG<br />
X. Psychotropic medications<br />
Minor tranquilizers May HR and BP by controlling anxiety: no other effects<br />
Antidepressants or (R and E) or (R and E) Variable (R)<br />
May result in ‘false positive’<br />
test results (E)<br />
Major tranquilizers or (R and E) or (R and E) Variable (R)<br />
May result in ‘false positive’ or<br />
‘false negative’ test results (E)<br />
Lithium (R and E) (R and E) May result in T wave changes<br />
and arrhythmias (R and E)<br />
XI. Nicotine or (R and E) (R and E) or HR , except or in<br />
May provoke ischemia, patients with angina<br />
arrhythmias (R and E)<br />
XII. Antihistamines (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />
XIII. Cold medications with Effects similar to those described in sympathomimetic agents, <br />
Sympathomimetic agents although magnitude of effects is usually smaller<br />
XIV. Thyroid medications (R and E) (R and E) HR , unless angina worsened<br />
May provoke<br />
Only levothyroxine arrhythmias ischemia (R and E)<br />
XV. Alcohol (R and E) Chronic use may May provoke <br />
have role in BP arrhythmias (R and E)<br />
(R and E)<br />
XVI. Hypoglycemic agents (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />
Insulin and oral agents<br />
XVII. Dipyridamole (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />
XVIII. Anticoagulants (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />
XIX. Antigout medications (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />
XX. Antiplatelet medications (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />
XXI. Pentoxyfiline (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) or in patients limited by<br />
intermittend claudication<br />
XXII. Caffeine<br />
Variable effects depending upon previous use<br />
Variable effects on exercise capacity<br />
May provoke arrhythmias<br />
XXIII. Anorexiants/diet pills or (R and E) or (R and E) or (R and E)<br />
Key: = increase; = no effect; = decrease; R = rest; E = exercise; HR = heart rate; PVC’s = premature ventricular contractions<br />
* ß-Blockers with ISA lower resting HR only slightly.<br />
+ May provide or delay myocardial ischemia.<br />
