Question 1
Is it safe for most people with heart failure to undertake air travel?
A. Yes

B. No
 

The correct answer is A.

If your heart failure is well-controlled you should have no difficulties with the mild reductions in oxygen levels in aeroplanes. Rarely, air travel can be a problem for some people with heart failure due to lower oxygen levels in aircraft cabins. These individuals may be given supplemental oxygen during the flight.
