A medical examiner is evaluating a driver who uses an anti-arrhythmia device. The medical examiner should consider each of the following EXCEPT:
  1. What is the risk for cerebral hypoperfusion and loss of consciousness?
  2. What is the family history of cardiovascular disease?
  3. Is the underlying heart disease disqualifying?
  4. What is the risk for sudden death?
Explanation
Answer: B - What is the family history of cardiovascular disease?

While a family history of cardiovascular disease is an important consideration for anyone who wants to watch his/her health, it is not necessary for a medical examiner to make such an inquiry at this point. When examining a driver who uses an anti-arrhythmia device, a medical examiner should consider the following: What is the risk for cerebral hypoperfusion and loss of consciousness? Is the underlying heart disease disqualifying? What is the risk for sudden death?
