    Last drove 18 months ago. Had a little heart scare since then, artery blockage.
    So I was seeing if somebody had some firsthand experience/information on passing DOT physical with a arteriosclerosis condition, also known as CAD/coronary artery disease? Basically, blockage of the arteries supplying the heart. Mine is controlled by meds OK. No heart attack or stints. From the information I have located so far, is not an automatic disqualifier. However, examiner could want cardiologist statement, and may want a stress/exercise test.
    Looking at going back to driving. Drove OTR for 8 months in 2013.
    Thanks for any information!
