Question
Berta
N4XV posted the criteria here in April and I feel this is another post that needs to be moved to the forefront as some of these claims could be resolved fast when the regs are formalized:
Please note the exceptions-
The METS values might not be required
1. if the MET test is medically contraindicated or
2.If the left ventricular ejection fraction ( stated on ECHO results) is less then 50% or
3.when chronic CHF is present with more than one episode of CHF documented in the clinical record within "the past year"- and I assume this could mean within past year prior to the formal regs being published. or
4.when a 100% evaluation can be assigned on another basis.
As VA has stated they expect most IHD awards will be at the 60% level.
LVEJ at 30 to 50 % or more than one episode of CHF in past year- equals 60 % rating in most cases.
