Depends: Retirement and traveling should be fine if you have stable coronary artery disease and are compliant with therapy. Many people survive heart attacks and return to active lifestyles.Concerns about medical care when traveling even out of the country should not be a major source of anxiety.

Probably...: Alot depends on your own physical condition. If you are able to do whatever you want without a problem now, i'm not sure that traveling would be too much of a burden. If your heart is struggling to the point that you can barely get around the house, then traveling seems like it would be too much for you. Check with your cardiologist to be sure.
