is it safe to travel by air , with a defibulator recently implanted, after a series of heart attacks


Posted by Ed W. Facebook

a friend recently spent amonth (Feb) in hosp after suffering a series of heart attacks, in short he flatlined three times and had to be revived.  A defibulator was placed in his chest. He now wants to travel from ohio to nevada, iearly may. Is it safe for him to travel? His cardiologist told him there was nothing they could do. He had bypass surgery 5years ago and his heart has been damaged with these events. No more bypasses.
