But with regards to healthcare provider, I think no one would advise HIIT, even for people below 30 years of age. There is some kind of disclaimer here: they will avoid being accused for bad advice, even if the risk would be 1/10000 persons and many of the remaining 9999 would have some benefits from HIIT.
Why? They have that equipment that just goes around your arm so on a trainer you could do it alone but for sure with help.
