Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating higher than 30 percent for nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) based on evidence showing a workload greater than 5 METs and an LVEF above 50 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence consistently demonstrated a workload greater than 5 METs and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) above 50 percent, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under either the old or new rating criteria.
