Denied
The Board denied entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for coronary artery disease (CAD) from April 18, 2021 to March 5, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a cardiac workload of greater than 3 METs but not greater than 5 METs resulting in dyspnea, fatigue, angina, dizziness or syncope, which would warrant a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
