Please let me know your thoughts on possible rating:
OPINIONS:
The veteran still suffers from right ventricular dysfunction as the result of tricuspid regurgitation discovered by transesopageal echocardiogram performed 5 Sept 1995 in-service. To ascribe now a present right or left ventricular ejection fraction would require cardiologic studies not orderable by C&P examiners.
RATIONALE:
Service treatment records as well physical examination board proceedings via VBMS, CPRS, physical examination, radiologic findings of 12 OCT 2016 as well as examiner's clinical experience.
Other notes from exam:
[X] (1-3 METs) This METs level has been found to be consistent with activities such as eating, dressing, taking shower, slow walking (2mph) for 1-2 blocks
Does the Veteran's heart condition(s) impact his or her ability to work? [X] Yes
