N2  - Since October 1974, the Flight Surgeon's Office at the USAF Hospital Dover has implemented a program of early detection and treatment of coronary risk factors in aircrew personnel. The program is integrated with USAF periodic physical examinations with interval follow-up of members found to have possible risk factors. A report of initial (baseline) findings was presented at the Aerospace Medical Association meeting in May 1975. During the past year, the base did experience one death due to myocardial infarction in an aircrew member, while two others were grounded due to serial ECG changes, consistent with silent myocardial infarction, confirmed by review at the USAF-SAM ECG Library.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
