Initial follow-up of aircrew for return to flight status should occur no sooner than 6 months after myocardial infarction (MI) and/or revascularisation to ensure acceptable flight safety risk. | Highly recommended |
After return to flight, aircrew should at minimum have an annual follow-up with their primary care provider, aviation medical examiner and cardiologist. | Highly recommended |
Annual review should include an ECG, resting echocardiogram and 24 hour Holter monitor. | Consider |
Exercise stress testing is not recommended as a sole investigation to determine ischaemia in the assessment of aircrew post-MI/revascularisation. | Not recommended |
