google can explain it , better than i can, it is a treadmill exercise, with picture images to see if your heart is ok if you are older do not let them do a stress test where you lay down, and they give you a shot, and it holds your breath for so long, i really thought i was dying, it feels like an elaphant on your chest, and when you cant breathe when you want to think how you feel, my tounge was hangin out the side of my mouth, and i fainted, i am not over that yet, and it was done over a yera and half, i have heard from lots of older people they never did get over it, i cant breathe good now because of it,  so stay with the treadmill,  luck  jo
