Is It Safe To Travel In High Altitude With Coronary Stent?
I was checking to see about altitude and coronary stents. I have a coronary stent and we are going to take a vacation to Denver. Also wondering about how living there, I am retired female and 60 years old, would affect my heart. I had a fast heart beat and now take Toprol and Plavix.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to your query that you have asked and the history of stent I would like to say you that of course you can travel with the high altitude because this does not cause any thing to your cardiac history no need to worry about this, hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day.
