Hi Steve,
The short answer is "Yes!." It's a judgement call for you, & your Cardiologist!. 13K feet, in a severely undeveloped country, to risk a medical emergency!?!?!? If it were me!. I'd say no thanks!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its vital you discuss this with your cardiologist as it is dependant on the current state of your hypertrophy!. Also your cardiologist would have to sign a form for the airline to declare you fit to fly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
