For getting DLA
Recurrent Arrhythmias. This condition causes your heartbeat to be irregular; to race; or to beat slowly. To qualify for Social Security Disability due to recurrent arrhythmias, you must demonstrate that your condition causes you to pass out or to have frequent spells in which you come close to passing out.
Chronic Heart Failure. Also called congestive heart failure, there are medical tests administered to measure the flow of blood from your heart. Your heart needs to be performing at 30% capacity to qualify as totally disabled. Additionally, you need to demonstrate that your heart problem causes you pain, even while not exerting yourself.
Ischemic Heart Disease. This is a pre-heart attack condition which is caused by problems with your arteries. Those who have this condition have poor oxygen flow within their blood stream. This condition is normally diagnosed as a result of a particularly poor stress test or angiography.

if heart functios are less then 30% or blockages in angiogram are critical you will get dla
