9. There is no automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
(c) Medical standards for all classes of operators licenses. A person who applies for, renews, or holds any classification of operator’s license shall meet all of the following cardiovascular function criteria:
1. There are no current symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as unstable angina, dyspnea, or pain at rest, which interfere with safe driving, as assessed by a physician or APNP.
2. There is no cause of cardiac syncope present, including ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, which is not successfully controlled.
3. There is no congestive heart failure that limits functional ability and is assessed by a physician or APNP as interfering with safe driving.
4. Any cardiac rhythm disturbances are successfully controlled.
5. There is no automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator, unless the device is assessed by an electrophysiologist as not interfering with safe driving.
6. There is no valvular heart disease or malfunction of prosthetic valves that is assessed by a physician or APNP as interfering with safe driving.
