DGCA Testing – what are the parameters?
(pass fail - too low vs too high)
Stress Test:
Bruce Protocal Maximal – Treadmill Test
Bruce protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a maximal test - which means that the individual must continue until they are fatigued
Needless to say in a clinical setting, other parameters (such as blood pressure and ECG readings etc.) are used to determine the end of the test.
Biomechanical Tests
(i) Hb TLC DLC
(ii) Blood Urea
(iii) Serum Creatinine
(iv) Lipid Profile
(v) Blood Sugar Fasting & Post Prandial
(vi) Serum Uric Acid
(vii) Serum Bilirubin
(viii) SGOT/ SGPT
here are some parameters (not DCGA)
