Driving issues related to arrhythmic syncope

Cardiology Clinics
W M Miles

Abstract

The safety of driving in patients with cardiac arrhythmias is a common concern. Although the risk of driving in these patients cannot be reduced to zero, available data and expert consensus suggest that most patients with arrhythmias can return to driving with a relatively low risk of harm to themselves and others, that is, a risk within the limits deemed acceptable by society. Specific recommendations for allowing patients with various cardiac rhythm abnormalities to drive are reviewed in detail.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
