The two friends I know, who were referred to a Stress ECGby their doc or the FAA, were on the treadmill for about 2 minutes when the cardiologist said, "please take a seat, I've seen enough". Then picked up the phone and scheduled an OR.

Point being, it doesn't take much "stress" to determine the health of one's heart.
In both cases they had little in the way of symptoms, some mild chest pains.
