Travel Tips for Ischaemic Heart Disease

When you live with a pre-existing medical condition, whether it’s a recent diagnosis or something you’ve managed for years, travelling requires extra planning.

Before you set off, consult with your doctor to discuss any precautions or adjustments you may need whilst travelling. By preparing ahead of your trip, you can focus on making the most of your holiday with a pre-existing medical condition. Securing Travel Insurance means you’re protected financially if you do experience any unexpected issues related to ischaemic heart disease abroad, provided this is declared and accepted on the policy and subject to policy terms and conditions.

If you do not declare ischaemic heart disease, your policy won’t cover any related medical costs which can quickly add up when you’re overseas.

We kindly ask that you answer as honestly and accurately as possible when completing the medical screening process to avoid any potential issues with claims.

Travel Insurance for Ischaemic Heart Disease FAQs

What is ischaemic heart disease?

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is a condition that causes reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This reduced blood flow can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, a heart attack. You can still travel with ischaemic heart disease, but it’s important to consult with your doctor and ensure they are in agreement with you travelling before making any plans. 

Can I still get Travel Insurance with ischaemic heart disease?

Yes, you can still get Travel Insurance with ischaemic heart disease, but you must fully disclose this information during the medical screening process. This helps us to find the right policies for you.

Do I have to declare blood thinners on my Travel Insurance?

You should always declare any pre-existing medical condition on your Travel Insurance. Blood thinners can be prescribed for a number of medical conditions including to those with ischaemic heart disease. You should always disclose the medical condition that blood thinners have been prescribed for as this information can impact your risk profile and may influence the cover provided by your policy.
