;;A. Review of Medical Records:
;;
;;
;;
;;B. Medical History (Subjective Complaints):
;;
;; Comment on:
;; 1. Dyspnea on exertion. If present, what level of activity
;; precipitates it?
;;
;;
;; 2. Angina - Extent? Frequency? Level of activity that
;; precipitates it?
;;
;;
;; 3. Other cardiac symptoms? If present, what level of activity
;; precipitates them?
;;
;;
;; 4. Describe history, including dates and severity of episodes, of
;; acute cardiac illness, including coronary occlusion or
;; thrombosis, congestive heart failure, acute rheumatic heart
;; disease, etc., and all cardiac surgery, including coronary
;; artery bypass, valvular surgery, cardiac transplant, angioplasty, etc.
;;
;;
;; 5. Current treatment, response, and side effects.
;;
;;
;;C. Physical Examination (Objective Findings):
;;
;; Address each of the following and fully describe current findings:
;; 1. Heart size - How determined?
;;
;;
;; 2. If the diagnosis of hypertension has not been established,
;; take 2 or more blood pressure readings on at least 3 different
;; days.
;;
;;
;; 3. If hypertension has been diagnosed, take 2 or more blood
;; pressure readings.
;;
;;
;; 4. Cardiac arrhythmia - onset?
;;
;;
;; 5. Murmurs, thrills.
;;
;;
;; 6. Evidence of congestive heart failure - rales, edema, liver
;; enlargement, etc.
;;
;;
;;D. Diagnostic and Clinical Tests:
;;
;; 1. Chest X-ray - heart size?, pericardial adhesions?
;; 2. EKG.
;; 3. Echocardiogram, exercise stress test, thallium study, angiography,
;; etc., as appropriate, and as needed.
;; 4. Include results of all diagnostic and clinical tests conducted
;; in the examination report.
;;
;;
;;E. Diagnosis:
;;
;; 1. Etiology of any murmurs.
;;
;;
;; 2. If both rheumatic heart disease and arteriosclerotic heart
;; disease are present, state, if possible, which findings can be
;; attributed to each condition. If it is not possible to
;; separate the signs and symptoms of one from the other, so
;; state, and explain.
;;
;;
;; 3. Functional Assessment: - How does the heart disability or
;; hypertension affect the daily activities of the veteran? Is
;; more than sedentary employment feasible? Is more than light
;; manual labor feasible? Explain.
