Travellers with Heart Conditions

“You should ensure your heart condition is well controlled, stable and that you feel good before you consider booking a trip. Consider destination wisely. Higher altitudes can cause higher oxygen requirements, which may be risky for patients with heart conditions. Extreme temperatures can also be detrimental to heart conditions. Extreme terrains or hiking or strenuous holidays might not be wise if you have a significant heart condition.”
