Procedure for effort electrocardiogram


1. Resting, leads 1, 11, 111, 111(R) (i.e. STD 111 with sustained inspiration), AVR, AVL, AVF, AVF(R) (i.e. AVF with
sustained inspiration) and chest leads V1 to V6.
2. Subject the insured to sufficient effort (exercise) to obtain a pulse rate of at least 120 per minute or 50% more than the
resting rate.
To make sure that there is a gradual increase in the pulse rate, the exercise should be completed in at least 3 minutes.
3. Please repeat the electrocardiogram:
 immediately after effort;
 3 minutes after effort;
 6 minutes after effort
Note: Any method giving a satisfactory pulse acceleration will be acceptable.

Important:
1. Ensure that your apparatus has been properly standardised. An impulse of 1mV should produce a right-angled
standardisation signal exactly 10 mm high. This should be carried out before production of the E.C.G. commences.
2. Make sure that the speed of the paper is correct. (25 mm/sec.)
3. Ensure a straight base line by allowing the needle to settle before the paper starts moving.
4. Make sure that arm and leg electrodes have not been switched and mark each deduction clearly.
5. Do not cut or mount the ECG which should bear the date of the ECG, the insured’s name and signature as well as your
own.
6. Do not conduct the effort test in the following cases:
 If the life insured objects to the test.
 If you have observed risks or contra-indications in the life insured.
 If substernal or chest pain, excessive tiredness, dyspnoea or bronchospasm develops while the life insured is busy with
the exercises.
 If the ECG shows deviations before effort.

If you have decided not to produce an ECG, please state the reason briefly.

Symptoms
Did the life insured show any symptoms as a result of the exercise? Yes No
If "Yes", please give details.
