  2. Maternal physiological changes in pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternal_physiological...

    The heart adapts to the increased cardiac demand that occurs during pregnancy in many ways. Cardiac output (Lit./Min.): 6.26; Stroke Volume (Ml.): 75; Heart Rate (Per min.): 85; Blood Pressure: Unaffected; Cardiac output increases throughout early pregnancy, and peaks in the third trimester, usually to 30-50% above baseline.

  3. Bruce protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_protocol

    [citation needed] The heart rate formula most often used for the Bruce is the Karvonen formula (below). A more accurate formula, offered in a study published in the journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, is 206.9 - (0.67 x age) which can also be used to more accurately determine VO2 Max, but may produce significantly different results.

  4. Heart rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate

    For healthy people, the Target Heart Rate (THR) or Training Heart Rate Range (THRR) is a desired range of heart rate reached during aerobic exercise which enables one's heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. This theoretical range varies based mostly on age; however, a person's physical condition, sex, and previous training ...

  5. Nonstress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonstress_test

    A normal nonstress test will show a baseline fetal heart rate between 110 and 160 beats per minute with moderate variability (5- to 25-interbeat variability) and 2 qualifying accelerations in 20 minutes with no decelerations. "Reactive" is defined as the presence of two or more fetal heart rate accelerations within a 20-minute period. Each ...

  6. Duke Treadmill Score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Treadmill_Score

    Duke Treadmill Score is a tool for predicting the risk of ischemia or infarction in the heart muscle. [1] The score is a function of data from an exercise test: [citation needed] [1] [exercise duration in minutes, by Bruce protocol] – [ 5 × (maximal ST elevation or depression, in millimeters)] – [4 × (treadmill angina index)]

  7. Exercise intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_intensity

    Some studies measure exercise intensity by having subjects perform exercise trials to determine peak power output, [4] which may be measured in watts, heart rate, or average cadence (cycling). This approach attempts to gauge overall workload. An informal method to determine optimal exercise intensity is the talk test.

  8. Peripartum cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripartum_cardiomyopathy

    Symptoms usually include one or more of the following: orthopnea (difficulty breathing while lying flat), dyspnea (shortness of breath) on exertion, pitting edema (swelling), cough, frequent night-time urination, excessive weight gain during the last month of pregnancy (1-2+ kg/week; two to four or more pounds per week), palpitations (sensation of racing heart-rate, skipping beats, long pauses ...

  9. Kick chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick_chart

    A more recent trend in the United Kingdom has been the replacement of the kick chart with jewelry-based counters. A pregnancy bracelet is a wearable form of kick counter. The bracelets available work on similar principles: the baby kicks, the mother moves a marker. The idea is that this is more practical than using a pen and paper.
