A member asked:
Can a patient with coronary heart disease take a long trip by plane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If that person has been well without unstable symptoms, they can fly on a long trip. Remember that planes are pressurized at 8, 000 feet so they need to be well enough to handle that.
