What altitude is too high to fly to if one has had a myocardial infarction?

Question

I want to fly from China to Africa or North and/or South America. What altitude does an airplane have to get to to fly to those places?

Answer 1

It does not matter what altitude the airplane is at. The inside cabin pressure is set at the outside pressure of 8000 feet. The plane can go as high as it wants and the cabin pressure would not change. The problems of flying when you have had a myocardial infarction is the stress that air travel causes people. It puts unnecessary pressure on the heart and you are at risk of another heart attack.

Answer 2

I don't think altitude is going to be an issue. Although there is some pressure change in airplane cabins, they are filled with plenty of oxygen and are kept at a pressure high enough so that having had a previous MI would not be an issue.

Answer 3

Id say for a flight like that, It will be a larger aircraft flying at a cruising altitude of 28,000-32,000 feet.
Most likely over 30,000.
Altitude wont be an issue, because of the cabin being pressurized, it wont effect you as if you were to go climb Mount Everest or something.

Answer 4

well i think its 30,000 but not exactly sure in my oppinion i think its the pressure change in cabins but the pilot is aware something like this could happen they might land in a near by airport but the problem is that doing this you are flying over oceans if going to the americas and i strongly recomend travelling to africa
Always glad to help
