Minor Aortic calcification and 1st Degree Heart Block

Advised by cardiologist no need to flag these on travel insurance.? Ummm not sure that's wise, no related symptoms or medication. He says this doesn't constitute aortic stenosis and heart block is benign. Have declared my CVD and stent and all medications. Don't want to over state my conditions but a week to holiday and got the jitters.

Ideally you could get the cardiologist to put your diagnosis in writing. I'd phone the insurance company and let them know, and send them the email from the cardiologist. Better safe than sorry!

I agree. Phone them and explain and send his email. Best to tell them everything that's been diagnosed then they have NO excuse. IT shouldn't affect your premium although you shoudl have done this as soon as you booked. More holidays get cancelled in the time between booking and going than while you are there.
