Medical - Medical: Cardiology / stress test/myocardial scintigraphy | | French term or phrase: FMP | Report of a myocardial scintigraphy/stress test in an angina patient:
Epreuve d´effort: 7 mets 82% de la FMP.
As always, cannot rule out the possibility that this is an English acronym, although I cannot find reference to it in either language.

To be clear: I believe "konungursvia" and I are talking about the same phenomenon, though he doesn't seem to realise it. When the technician administers a stress test they take into account the predicted maximum heart rate for the patient, which is generally 220 minus age. Just like one is told when one signs up for a gym.
