Hi Berta, I was told by a NP C@P examiner last week that for Coronary Artery disease the Ejection fraction is how they measure MET. He said that an ejection fraction of 30 to 50 is equal to 60 percent which I saw in the directives. He then said that an ejection fraction measured by Angio or Heart Cath outweighs one taken by a stress test for a stress test or echo is only an estimate. Its funny for a VA stress test measured 53 but the Actual heart cath measured 50.
Have you ever heard this, He also discussed my A1C and said I need to prepare to file for DM.
This may be an important point for Vets that are between the 30 and 60 percent rating for any heart related disease.
John
