[Need to correct indicators of "physiological norm" in pilots].
Examination including echocardiography and Doppler-cardiography covered 222 pilots and revealed that 27-64% of pilots had reliable cardiodynamic peculiarities, if compared with healthy individuals not involved into piloting. The authors necessitate introducing a concept of "pilot's heart" into medical expert examination for piloting. This concept should be considered a variant of functional adaptational "stress-norm".
