CaVD-PACE project: “New treatments and diagnostic measures for cardiovascular diseases”
Pilot and air traffic controllers (ATCO) medical fitness is one of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) prioritised topics in the area of medical requirements to safeguard flight safety. It is generally known that one of the frequently reported medical conditions that may lead to on-the-job incapacitation, or restriction of license privileges of pilots and ATCOs, is cardiovascular in nature. Therefore, a thorough and effective cardiovascular risk assessment will significantly contribute to optimally safeguard flight safety and personal wellbeing of pilots and ATCOs.
