FAA Cardiology Exams for Pilots & Aircrew
Flying demands peak cardiovascular health. If you’re a pilot, air traffic controller, or aircrew member who needs FAA medical certification after a heart condition, our cardiology practice provides the required exams, testing, and documentation to help you return to the cockpit safely and quickly.
Why Pilots Need FAA Cardiology Exams
The Federal Aviation Administration requires cardiology clearance for airmen with certain heart conditions, such as:
• Coronary artery disease or stents
• Heart attack (myocardial infarction)
• Arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, or pacemakers
• Heart surgery (bypass, valve replacement, ablation)
• Hypertension or heart failure history
These exams confirm your heart is stable and you’re fit to fly.
What to Expect During Your FAA Cardiology Evaluation
We streamline the process by providing all required cardiovascular testing in one location. Depending on your condition, your evaluation may include:
• Resting ECG (electrocardiogram)
• Echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart)
• Exercise treadmill stress test
• Nuclear stress testing (if needed)
• 24-hour Holter or event monitoring
• Advanced labs and imaging as required by FAA guidelines
We then prepare the official FAA cardiology report for your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME).
