 ;; Your patient is applying to the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs

 ;; provide on this questionnaire as part of their evaluation in processing
 ;; the Veteran's claim.

 ;;
 ;; 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: _______
 ;; ___Other, specify: 
 ;;    Other diagnosis #1: ____________________ 
 ;;    ICD code: ________________________
 ;;    Date of diagnosis: _______________
 ;;
 ;;    Other diagnosis #2: ____________________ 
 ;;    ICD code: ________________________
 ;;    Date of diagnosis: _______________
 ;;
 ;; If there are additional diagnoses that pertain to hypertension or isolated
 ;; systolic hypertension, list using above format: ____________________________
 ;;
 ;; ____________________________________________________________________________
 ;;
 ;; NOTE 3: ALSO complete appropriate questionnaires for hypertension-related
 ;; complications, if any (such as Kidney, if renal insufficiency attributable
 ;; to hypertension ).

 ;;
 ;;
 ;; 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?
 ;;
 ;; ___ Yes ___ No  ___ Unknown
 ;;
 ;; If yes, provide any BP readings used to establish initial diagnosis, if
 ;; known:
 ;;
 ;;    Reading 1: ______/______   Reading 2: ______/______   Date: __________

 ;; hypertension).
 ;;
 ;;    Reading 1: ______/______   Reading 2: ______/______   Date: __________

 ;; Blood pressure reading 1: ______/______   Date: __________
 ;; Blood pressure reading 2: ______/______   Date: __________
 ;; Blood pressure reading 3: ______/______   Date: __________
 ;;
 ;; 4. Other pertinent physical findings, complications, conditions, signs
 ;; and/or symptoms
