Failed class 1 medical (help)
CAA take action if ectopics exceed 13% of your regular daily 84000 beats.
They also show a keen interest in couplets and triplets.
You cannot 'assume' you don't have CHD unless you do an angiogram. This is the gold standard. Even a radio isotope stress test won't confirm it!
Until/unless you have an angiogram, you will never get your restriction lifted.
British Guy - unless you can remove the threat of a LBBB, your restricted class 1.

How do I go about removing the threat of a LBBB? I went to have a ultrasound of my heart and they said that the LBBB is there but at my age (early 30) is very insignificant. They said it maybe there today - and maybe not tomorrow. I think the CAA will issue me a restricted class 1 today, with the restriction on, which they'll 'review' in 3 years. Is it just a case of monitoring it for 3years then taking it off if everything stays normal?

OML removal
Thomas coupling - I think you were replying to my comment that my echo and stress ECG indicate that I do not have ischemic heart disease/CHD and that I would not get the OML lifted without an angiogram. As it happens, the CAA has informed me that it would consider lifting it "should the proportion of ectopics fall substantially". By this I take to mean that that is all I need to demonstrate i.e. a 24 ECG indicating less than 2% ectopics.
If you weren't referring to my post then I apologise for the mis-understanding.
