I am currently SC'd 30%: 20% for Left knee Laxity and 10% Hypertention. I had C&P exams in early December seeking an increase in ratings for both conditions. I got the results back from the exams and I would like some clarification of the results if someone would please help me. I'll start with hypertention: I could not finish the Bruce Stress Test due to alot of pain in my back and right ankle. The test lasted 2 minutes and 44 secondsand the results read...
Stage 1
METS 4.60
Target HR 151 Max HR 178
Interpretation:
1. Suboptimal Test
2. Low Exercise Tolerance
3. Symptomatically Negative
4. Electrically Indeterminant secondary to target heart rate not achieved.
5. Indeterminant risk by Duke Score
Positive History of Hypertension; Dyspnea
Dyspnea onset: On moderate exertion
Continuous medication is required for heart disease
Continuous medication is required for control of Hypertension
ECHO:
The left ventricular ejection fraction is >60%
Borderline elevated RV filling pressure
Mild PI
WAS TESTING FOR LV DYSFUNCTION DONE? YES
EJECTION FRACTION: < 30%
This is the short version and I'll address the C&P for the knee if anyone responds. Can someone tell me what this means and if this is good or bad? Thanks in advance!
