On-Site Evaluation of Bus Drivers With Coronary Heart Disease

Abstract

Cardiovascular strain during bus driving is much less than during the CCS stress test for drivers. Using CCS methodology, the risk that a sudden cardiovascular incident will cause injury or death of others in the first year after recovery from myocardial infarction is estimated at 1 in 50,000 driver-years. Thus, those satisfying CCS requirements can return to full driving duties promptly, with minimal risk to themselves, passengers, or other road users.
