Question re: Class 2 Medical

First post, so please play nice

Just had a question about something that CASA's asked me to do as part of their assessment of me for a class 2 medical - basically, due to certain body metrics of mine, I have been told to get, among other things, a report from a cardiologist which includes a 'Symptom Free Stress ECG (Bruce Protocol)'.

I'm aware that this involves me running (walking?) on a treadmill while hooked up on an ECG to see if I have any cardiac conditions that might exist. But, I'm unsure about the actual intensity (read above) of the test and what kind of minimum standards, other than having a normal ECG, do I need to reach in order to 'pass' (such as a level in a beep test).

This question is probably more directed at those who have/had got their class 1 medicals, as I believe you have to go through something like this as a SOP?

But, if anyone could shed any light as to what occurs in the test, that would be much appreciated!
