2.3.13. Target Workload
If an Ergometer was selected as exercise device, the Real-time monitor displays the current
Workload and the current Workload as a percentage of the Target Workload during recording,
in the overview area.
The Target Workload can be adjusted at the start of a new exercise ECG in the New Exercise
ECG window.
The Standard Target Workload shown is calculated with the following formula:
Target Workload = ((2 * Height) - (2.37 * Age) - 73) * 1.01 + 16.6
In case of a female patient multiply the above by 0.8.
Units:
The height is specified in centimeters.
The Age is specified in years.
