Analysis of cardiovascular health markers among 142 adults engaged in remote work for a period 1 year is of interest. Participants were assessed for sedentary duration, perceived stress levels (using PSS-10) and cardiovascular parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate and lipid profile. Increased sedentary time (>8 hours/day) and higher stress scores were significantly associated with elevated systolic BP, LDL cholesterol and resting heart rate. Thus, we show the interlinked impact of prolonged remote work, inactivity and stress on cardiovascular risk.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...
