Abstract
Traveling has been associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events among adult travelers who have existing cardiopulmonary diseases.1-6 Assessment of the patient's cardiovascular status and risk prior to travel represents the first step in the evaluation process and was discussed thoroughly in a paper by the same authors published in the previous issue of Journal of Travel Medicine. Therefore, prevention and management of cardiovascular events during travel are very important for the physicians who are involved in treating patients with heart disease who intend to travel. The current data regarding this crucial issue are limited. After careful assessment, the physician specializing in travel medicine needs to provide patients with existing cardiopulmonary disease with specific instructions to prevent adverse cardiovascular events during travel, as well as measures that they should undertake if such an event occurs.
