“…For example, one of the papers entitled "Decadal Electrocardiographic Changes Between Age 40 and 50 in Military Pilots" (Ohrui et al, 2011) is attributed to the WCs (i) Public, Environmental & Occupational Health, (ii) Medicine, General & Internal, and (iii) Sport Sciences, but not to the WC for cardiac systems although the Brugada syndrome is mentioned in the abstract of this paper as one of the possible causes of sudden death. As noted, attribution of WCs occurs not at the level of articles, but at the level of journals.…”

Citation analysis of documents retrieved from the Medline database (at the Web of Knowledge) has been possible only on a case-by-case basis. A technique is presented here for citation analysis in batch mode using both Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) at the Web ofKnowledge and the Science Citation Index at the Web of Science (WoS). This freeware routine is applied to the case of "Brugada Syndrome," a specific disease and field of research (since 1992). The journals containing these publications, for example, are attributed to WoS categories other than "cardiac and cardiovascular systems", perhaps because of the possibility of genetic testing for this syndrome in the clinic. With this routine, all the instruments available for citation analysis can now be used on the basis of MeSH terms. Other options for crossing between Medline, WoS, and Scopus are also reviewed.

“…This limitation of the ECG test itself, involving the diagnosis of heart disease, was found, among others, in a Japanese study on 176 military pilots aged 40-50 years. The addition of echocardiography to the standardized ECG also enabled the detection of signifi cant left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular hypertrophy [26]. Echocardiographic examination is the most frequently performed imaging examination in cardiology due to its low cost and universal access.…”

Own sources Source of support:Disorders of the electrical conduction system of the heart are a relatively common electrocardiographic abnormality found during aviation medical examinations and one of the reasons for the loss of pilot licenses/licenses to fl y. At the same time, the type of arrhythmia and/or cardiac conduction disorders alone usually does not provide a suffi cient basis for the performance/continuation of certain professional duties. This paper discusses the pathogenesis of disorders of the electrical conduction system of the heart, types of arrhythmias, their classifi cation, therapeutic and aviation medical certifi cation procedure in some of them, and the possible prognosis in potentially harmless arrhythmias and/or conduction disorders registered in standard ECG, which require more detailed diagnostics in the fl ying staff population. It may turn out that they constitute certain restrictions or even contraindications to fl ying supraventricular arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, atrioventricular blocks, intraventricular blocks, fl ying staff

Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most incapacitating causes at military or civilian aviation. Aircrew population is crowding in number in our country. We aimed to identify the clinical features that could predict CAD in aircrew. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical recordings of 26 aircrew (age 43.57±5.2) whose CAD was diagnosed via multislice computerized tomography angiography (MSCT). Clinical features, coronary risk factors and ST segment and T wave changes on resting ECG and treadmill test (TT), and laboratory findings of aircrew were recorded. Results: ST depression <0.05 mV and minimally inversion (<0.03 mV) of T wave were found on 53.8% and 23.1% of resting ECG, respectively. 53.8% of patients had the family history of CAD. 73.1% of subjects were overweight. Family history was correlated with CAD and its type (p=0.023). 76.9% and 23.1% of the subjects had equivocal and positive result on TT, respectively. Presence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and smoking were lower and diabetes was absent. Additionally, subjects with two or more vessel disease were observed slightly older compared to those with one vessel disease (45.5±3.8 vs. 42.2±5.5, p=0.101). Conclusion: Aircrew ≥40 years old, with family history, ST/T changes on resting ECG, and equivocal results on TT even in the absence of multiple coronary risk factors may need further cardiovascular tests. MSCT is an effective and noninvasive way of detection of CAD in aircrew when needed. (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2014; 14: 150-4)

Abstract: Thus, this study recommends additional cardiovascular examinations, including echocardiography for hypertensive pilots with ECG changes.
