Table 4. Acute coronary syndrome, stable coronary heart disease, and fitness to drive*.

	Group 1 (private) drivers	Group 2 (occupational) drivers
Acute coronary syndrome (myocardial infarction)	Fit to drive if no complications (EF >35%). EF <35% or acute decompensated heart failure in the context of an acute infarction: may be fit to drive after 4 weeks; case-by-case decision	EF >35%: may be fit to drive after 6 weeks. EF <35% unfit to drive
Stable angina pectoris	No restriction	Symptomatic angina on mild exertion: unfit to drive
After PCI	No restriction after PCI and good clinical result	Fit to drive 4 weeks after good clinical result; annual cardiological review
Coronary bypass operation	Fit to drive after 2–4 weeks	Fit to drive after 3 months

EF, left ventricular ejection fraction; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention
