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...

This is correct. I have been told that I will need a 7 day zio patch monitor and a complete echocardiogram and I have also been told from an AOPA medical specialist that I will need an EKG and just a 24 hour Holter Monitor.

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!

Thank you for everyone’s help I do appreciate it greatly. Just made an appointment with my primary care doctor and will be getting these tests completed before any AME visit. Going to make sure I bring in everything I can to help my case, as I now understand I can’t cut any corners here. Looks...

Thank you!

I really appreciate this, thank you.

Thanks for your sarcastic, unneeded comment.

Right.. I’m sorry, just frustrated. I’m not used to the strictness of the government I guess. Again, thank you for all your help and advice, it is much appreciated.

I found this on aopa and it’s been 3 years since my last ablation and I have had all these tests completed. Also SVT is favorable for an issuance of any class medical. Should I be fine?

I’m aware, I’ve already had a Holtor completed and EKG’s completed in the last year. My condition was harmless as it was just SVT. My doctor put no restrictions on me and I had the procedure to get rid of the annoyance that it wasn’t. I’ve had multiple cardiologist appointments since saying i...

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.

The only thing is that I have gotten mixed responses to what tests I MIGHT need which will be at least a couple thousand. I don't feel like spending thousands of tests I'm not sure what I need to get.

Hello all, I have never gotten an AME examination before and am in need of one in the next year. I had a procedure 3 years ago that will require me to get a special issuance and some cardiac tests done. I have reached out to several AME’s and doctor Bruce and have all confirmed this. I am...

Thank you very much for your reply. It sounds as if I will not be able to fly until summer, or fall semester. That is okay. I am just lost on whether I should still go to my AME this December or wait.

Correct, I’m going to need more than a basic med.

I know, it was a quick decision as I was pre-need in California and hated it as a sophomore, so I’m transferring to Florida. Needed to make the decision before I wasted another 100k.
