;; Your patient is applying to the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs
;; (VA) for disability benefits. VA will use the information you provide on
;; this questionnaire to process the Veteran's claim.
;;
;; 1. Diagnosis
;;
;; NOTE: IHD includes, but is not limited to, acute, subacute, and old
;; myocardial infarction; atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease including
;; coronary artery disease (including coronary spasm) and coronary bypass
;; surgery; and stable, unstable and Prinzmetal's angina. IHD does not include
;; hypertension or peripheral manifestations of arteriosclerosis such as
;; peripheral vascular disease or stroke, or any other condition that does not
;; qualify within the generally accepted medical definition of ischemic heart
;; disease.
;; IHD encompasses any atherosclerotic heart disease resulting in clinically
;; significant ischemia or requiring coronary revascularization.

;; due to IHD? ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; Implanted cardiac pacemaker ___ Yes ___ No
;; Treatment facility/date:_________________________________________________
;; If yes, is it as likely as not that the Veteran's pacemaker is due to
;; IHD? ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; Implanted automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD)
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; Treatment facility/date: ________________________________________________
;; If yes, is it as likely as not that the Veteran's AICD is due to IHD?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; 3. Congestive heart failure (CHF)
;;
;; Does the Veteran have CHF? ___ Yes ___ No
;; Is the Veteran's CHF chronic? ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; If the Veteran's CHF is not chronic, has the Veteran had more than one
;; episode of acute CHF in the past year? ___ Yes ___ No

;; Treatment facility/date of most recent episode of CHF: _______________________
;;
;; ______________________________________________________________________________
;;^TOF^
;; 4. Cardiac functional assessment
;;
;; Has a diagnostic exercise test been conducted? ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; a. If yes, provide level of METs the Veteran can perform as shown by the
;; most recent diagnostic exercise testing: _______________
;;
;; Date of most recent diagnostic exercise test:___________
;;
;; b. If exercise METs testing was not completed because it is not required as
;; part of Veteran's treatment plan, complete the following METs test based on
;; the Veteran's responses:
;;
;; Lowest level of activity at which the Veteran reports symptoms (check all
;; symptoms that apply)
;;
;; ___ dyspnea ___ fatigue ___ angina ___ dizziness ___ syncope
;;
;; ___ (1-3 METs) This METs level has been found to be consistent with
;; activities such as eating, dressing, taking a shower,
;; slow walking (2 mph) for 1-2 blocks
;;
;; ___ (>3-5 METs) This METs level has been found to be consistent with
;; activities such as light yard work (weeding), mowing lawn
;; (power mower), brisk walking (4 mph)
;;
;; ___ (>5-7 METs) This METs level has been found to be consistent with
;; activities such as golfing (without cart), mowing lawn
;; (push mower), heavy yard work (digging)

;; ___ (>7-10 METs) This METs level has been found to be consistent with
;; activities such as climbing stairs quickly, moderate
;; bicycling, sawing wood, jogging (6 mph)
;; ___ The Veteran denies experiencing above symptoms with any level of
;; physical activity
;;^TOF^
;; 5. Diagnostic testing
;;
;; Determination of cardiac hypertrophy/dilatation is required; the suggested
;; order of testing for cardiac hypertrophy/dilatation is EKG, then chest
;; x-ray (PA and lateral), then echocardiogram. Echocardiogram is only
;; necessary if the other two tests are negative. A limited echocardiogram, if
;; available, is appropriate to determine if cardiac hypertrophy/dilatation is
;; present by measuring only left ventricular dimension, wall thickness and
;; ejection fraction.
;;
;; Is there evidence of cardiac hypertrophy or dilatation?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; Diagnostic test (provide most recent test only):
;;
;; ___ EKG Date of EKG: ______________
;; ___ Chest x-ray Date of CXR: ______________
;; ___ Echocardiogram Date of echocardiogram:_______________
;; ___ Other study (specify): ________ Date:_______________
;;
;; Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), if known: ______%
;; Date of test: ________________
;;
;; If LVEF testing is not of record, but available medical information
;; sufficiently reflects the severity of the Veteran's cardiovascular condition,
;; LVEF testing is not required.
;;
;; 6. Functional impact
;; Does the Veteran's ischemic heart disease impact his or her ability to work?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; If yes, describe impact, providing one or more examples: ____________________
;;
;; _____________________________________________________________________________

;; 7. Remarks, if any

;;
;; Physician signature: ________________________________________ Date:__________
;;
;; Physician printed name: _____________________________________ Phone:_________
;;
;; Medical license #: __________________

;; NOTE: VA may request additional medical information, including additional
;; examinations if necessary to complete VA's review of the Veteran's
;; application.
