Abstract

As it is comfortable, fast, and safe, an increasing number of patients with heart disease prefer to travel by flight. However, there is not much informa- tion about the problems that patients with arrhythmia may experience during air travel. In addition, the precautions to be taken with these patients during a flight are uncertain. In this review, the management of patients with cardiac conduction problems during flight was examined in detail.
