[Civil aviation and cardiology. Admission rules and follow-up of the technical flying personnel of TAP-Air Portugal].

The authors, based in European and American rules, consensus positions of Clinical Aerospace Congresses and their own experience, marked admission and follow-up rules of conduct for TAP Air Portugal aircrew. They stressed the importance of modern technology in arterial pressure ambulatory diagnosis and pointed the necessity of arterial pressure treatment in the other cardiovascular risk factors context. They relief ischemic myocardial disease because it is incompatible with flying safety, even in those submitted to coronary angioplasty or bypass graft surgery. For those with arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and adult life congenital heart disease, we emphasize admission and follow-up rules.
