Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, and premature atrial contractions based on the evidence showing that the workload of greater than 5 METs but not greater than 7 METs resulted in heart failure symptoms.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 examination estimated a workload of 5-7 METs would result in heart failure symptoms, which is consistent with the criteria for a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7015 and does not warrant a higher rating.
