Stress Test Update Yesterday (17th September) I had an ECG stress test. This came up very well - no negative signs - the BP was 173/67 at the end of the stress test, reducing to 132/78 after 2 minutes rest. The traces were all good so my cardiologist's opinion was that EECP had produced some long term positive effects - it was not simply a short term blip.

I have had some BP excursions and occasional angina in the last 3 months but this is always because I have been pushing the exercise envelope too far - over 11000 steps a day or 40 minutes a day aerobic walking (105 paces a minute or faster). The advice is therefore - to live within my limits!  ¶ 9:18 am
