Surreysue, when they see an inverted T wave, they start worrying about schemia (lack of O2 to the heart muscle that could have been caused by a small heart attack).
The stress EKG is used to see whether the inverted T wave shows up during exercise.
Yet, there are many people with "abnormal" EKG readings, but with perfect functional hearts. Ten healthy people will probably show four different EKG tracings at rest.
All the best

Great news JP.
I had to take a stress egc and an echocardiogram due to previous history of a suspected heart murmer when I was wee. Along with other reports required due to prev history. I had it all the tests done up in Aberdeen and the tapes and print outs were sent to gatwick with a report. Cardiologist at Gatwick was great and I'm happy to say after over a year of trying to get it, I too got my class one.
Wish you all the best for the future

I want to just share this information with you guys, in case somebody could be in the same situation, and dont want them to loose faith.
I recently went for inital CAA class 2 and FAA class 1.
My ECG showed incomplete right branch bundle block.
After initial shock I was told to get ECG excersise, echodiagram and ECG 24 hours for the CAA, for the FAA also some blood samples.
The excerise test lasted for 12 minutes, was harder then I imagined, but was very good result.
Having spent XXXX amount of £'s - the doctor told me all was fine for both JAA Class 1 medical and FAA class 1 medical.
Some abnormalities are actually Normal, and does not mean the end of the world.
One note, the AME who did the initial FAA and CAA class 2, did not really have a clue about anything to do with the ECG resting report, as his diagnosises was in fact wrong, he had it as Left Fasciluar block, (something like that), which would have been potenially a much worse diagnosis, but the CAA doctors examined my ECG and orderd those tests to be done)
