    Well it turned out to be a bit of a non-event.
    I didn't have to go flat out it was all done at sort of power walking pace.
    After wiring me up I walked on a tread mill until my hear rate reached 138 BPM and held that for 3 minutes.
    Then they increased the slope of the tread mill till my heart rate reached 157 BPM and held it for 2 minutes.
    That was it.
    Preliminary results indicate no problems which I am happy about.

    Thanks Joe, He finally succumbed to the disease earlier this morning at home here. We were around him when he went. His heart just would not give in until the bitter end.

    Good luck BobL. I had one several years ago. The bad news is that once you get to "till I drop" stage, I had to hold my breath for 10 - 20 seconds while they did scans - I thnk I managed 5 seconds?
    Anyhow my results were all clear.

    Good to hear. Fortunately I didn't have to have the scans.
