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 />

XVI. Hypoglycemic agents (R and E) (R and E) (R and E) <br />

Insulin and oral agents<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 />
