Travel Insurance for Arrhythmia

Travelling with arrhythmia may require a little more preparation, but for many people it doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold. Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats too quickly, too slowly or irregularly that affects approximately two million people in the UK. While symptoms can vary, many individuals successfully manage their condition through medication or ongoing care.

With the right preparation, medical guidance and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage arrhythmia with medication or supervision continue to travel abroad with confidence.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with arrhythmia:

• Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
• Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
• Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a heart condition

• Only travel when your condition is stable and you feel well enough to do so
• Carry any heart medication with you in your hand luggage
• Allow extra time for rest during travel and avoid excessive exertion
• Research medical facilities at your destination before travelling

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this type of condition if required.

We can provide travel insurance for travellers who have been diagnosed with a wide range of medical conditions. The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
