Abstract:This review provides a summary of data on the health status of adults with cardiovascular disease during air travel. We describe mental and physical stressors affecting the cardiovascular system and hypobaric hypoxia in the commercial aircraft cabin. Valid algorithms for preliminary assessment of the condition of patients with recent acute and chronic coronary syndromes are proposed.
