Should pilots over some stated age be required to undergo a Heart Stress Test along with the ECG testing?
In Oz we do EKG and stress tests as well. Two of my friends have been detected as having serious heart problems (no evident symptoms) from the test, and one was actually having an attack during the test.
"Are you feeling OK, Noel?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, just fine."
"Stop right now, you are having a heart attack."
"...............oh....."
