Thanks LeadSled,
I just realized this after reading the risk assessment form.
If you score point reduction in HDL, Total C, Low BP, it appears a healthy person
might pick up, around 4 points which will stall the stress test till you turn 66.
66 appears to be the age beyond which a stress EKG becomes virtually necessary.
I notice that they do not use BMI or percentage of body fat as a risk factor.
I would have thought that this would have been worth a few points.
By way of interest when I'm at the gym using a treadmill, I sometimes keep track
of the pulse rate record, using a Polar H10 chest strap and the Polar Android AP.
It keeps a detailed record of each session. But it does not do an EKG at the same
time, perhaps home EKG stress testing is coming in the future.

Tootle pip!!
PS: Bloggsie, strange as it may seem to you, but I have always had delightfully normal blood pressure, even when thinking of the activities of you and some of your mates over the years.
