Pacemaker

Guidance material in the medical section of the CAA website (rhythm and conduction disturbances):

Class 2
(7) Pacemaker
7.1 Applicants with a subendocardial pacemaker may be assessed as fit no sooner than three months after insertion provided:
7.1.1 there is no other disqualifying condition;
7.1.2 a bipolar lead system is used, programmed in bipolar mode without automatic mode change of the device;
7.1.3 the applicant is not pacemaker dependent; and
7.1.4 the applicant has a regular follow-up including a pacemaker check.

together with the flow chart in the related guidance material gives the medical tests required to demonstrate fitness at the end of the three month period -basically exercise ECG, 24 hour ECG and echocardiogram
