Historic aeromedical perspective on left bundle branch block.

Military aviators represent a very highly trained, expensive personnel resource. It is incumbent upon the military medical care systems to manage the health aspects of this resource as wisely as possible. This can best be accomplished through a combination of preventive medicine and health promotion oriented clinical care coupled with epidemiologically sound aeromedical standards which ensure that flying safety and mission completion will not be compromised. Epidemiologically sound aeromedical standards, in most cases, can be formulated only through responsible clinical aeromedical research and investigation which is performed within the population for which the aeromedical standards are intended.

Coronary bypass surgery: military aviation medicine perspective.

Close examination of medical and surgical literature shows that significant proportions of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery do not achieve an angina-free state; of those who do, a large proportion will relapse over the ensuing 4-6 years. It is apparent from the literature that coronary bypass surgery does not reverse the underlying processes of atherosclerosis. Therefore, aviators who have undergone this surgery are at increased risk for angina and other unpredictable coronary events and should not be favorably considered for continued military flying duties.
