Get a QuoteWhat is coronary heart disease?
Coronary heart disease is a condition where the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to a build-up of fatty deposits. It can affect people in different ways depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 2.3 million people are living with the condition.
A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with coronary heart disease continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have coronary heart disease:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
- Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons
Travel advice for people with a heart condition like coronary heart disease
- Travel once your coronary heart disease has stabilised and you feel comfortable travelling
- Keep essential heart medication with you throughout your journey
- Avoid overly strenuous activities and plan in time to rest
- Familiarise yourself with local emergency services before travelling with coronary heart disease
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, including heart conditions.
Travel insurance is often still possible for people with coronary heart disease. What we can offer depends on your diagnosis and how it is managed, and answering the medical declaration accurately helps us bring forward the right cover.
