I recently got my class 1 renewed and there was a minor electrical anomaly on my ekg. The doctor still issued the class 1 but he said to expect a letter from the FAA requiring additional testing. He assured me that the issue never grounded a pilot, but that the FAA would likely require some additional testing and that I should not worry.
I went for the initial additional testing and during the heart stress test, right as I hit my peak heart rate they found an abnormality. The cardiologist now wants to do an imaging test. I have no symptoms and am in excellent physical condition; however, the abnormality either points to just a variance in my own personal physiology at peak heart rate or it could point to a blockage -- which is why they want to do imagery. I didn't even get to see the doctor, but the go-between said worst case is if there is a blockage they'd have to put in a heart stent or possibly accomplish bypass.
Should it be the absolute worst, is this something I can recover from and regain my class 1 physical or is it time to find another line of work?
