Significant CAD is present in a very small minority of young pilots and more so in older pilots and those with cardiac risk factors. Exercise treadmill test (ETT) followed by multislice computed tomography (MSCT), in lieu of coronary angiography, is highly sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of CAD. MSCT has been implemented by the German Air Force with good results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
