Partly granted
The Board denied a rating higher than 30 percent for ischemic heart disease (IHD) prior to June 8, 2023, and remanded the claim for a rating more than 60 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's IHD manifested as a workload of greater than 3 METs but not greater than 5 METs resulting in dyspnea, fatigue, angina, dizziness, or syncope, or for left ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 30 to 50 percent.
