Abstract
Flight attendants play a vital role in the safety and security of air passengers during emergencies. A 61-year-old flight attendant who endured myocardial infarction and coronary artery bypass graft surgery wanted to return to full duty. To meet airline requirements, he chose to participate in our occupation-specific, high-intensity performance training program. This patient returned to full duty as a flight attendant upon completion of this specialized cardiac rehabilitation program.
