;; Your patient is applying to the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs
;; (VA) for disability benefits. VA will consider the information you

;;
;;
;; 1. Diagnosis
;;
;; Does the Veteran now have or has he/she ever been diagnosed with
;; hypertension or isolated systolic hypertension based on the following
;; criteria:
;;
;; NOTE 1: For VA disability rating purposes, the term hypertension means
;; that the diastolic blood pressure is predominantly 90mm or greater, and
;; isolated systolic hypertension means that the systolic blood pressure is
;; predominantly 160mm or greater with a diastolic blood pressure of less
;; than 90mm.
;;
;; NOTE 2: For VA purposes, for the INITIAL diagnosis of hypertension or
;; isolated systolic hypertension must be confirmed by readings taken 2 or
;; more times on at least 3 different days. Blood pressure results may be
;; obtained from existing medical records or through scheduled visits for
;; blood pressure measurements.
;;
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; If yes, provide only diagnoses that pertain to hypertension:
;;
;; ___Hypertension ICD code: __________ Date of diagnosis: _______
;; ___Isolated systolic hypertension
;; ICD code: ___________ Date of diagnosis: _______

;; complications, if any (such as Kidney, if renal insufficiency attributable
;; to hypertension ).

;; hypertension condition (brief summary):

;;
;; b. Does the Veteran's treatment plan include taking continuous medication
;; for hypertension or isolated systolic hypertension?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; If yes, list only those medications used for the diagnosed conditions:

;; c. Was the Veteran's initial diagnosis of hypertension or isolated systolic
;; hypertension confirmed by blood pressure (BP) readings taken 2 or more times
;; on at least 3 different days?

;;
;; a. Does the Veteran have any scars (surgical or otherwise) related to any
;; conditions or to the treatment of any conditions listed in the Diagnosis
;; section above?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; If yes, are any of the scars painful and/or unstable, or is the total area
;; of all related scars 39 square cm (6 square inches) or greater?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
