I knew what you were saying, I just found out that a Stress Echo would be sufficient.

I appreciate the thought, but I will be starting an aviation program within a university that requires me to hold a medical before starting. Looking to receive ATP certificate in a few years.

I was planning on just getting the maximum stress test. But I will look into finding out about the nuclear. I hope not, seems unnecessary and not too good for you.

For anyone wondering, I have put together a list of tests recommended from Dr. Bruce and an AOPA medical specialists which consists of an EKG, 24 Holter, echocardiogram, stress test, and an evaluation from a cardiologist. A 7 day Zio Patch is required in special cases, so I will wait until I...

If I may ask, how long did the whole process take? From the start of getting tests to having an SI in hand? Thank you in advance!

True, but I am not worried about the flight training cost, I am going for ATP so I know the money will be used wisely. It's the fact of wasting the money on useless tests, but I see what you mean.

As soon as next august is much needed as I am accepted as a flight operations student starting this spring.
