Evidence checklist
Ventricular Arrhythmia
Evidence strength
Mark what you already have below and your evidence strength appears here.
Specialist opinion
Highest value0 of 5 collectedElectrocardiogram and 24-48 hour Holter monitor confirming ventricular arrhythmia: PVCs (premature ventricular contractions), non-sustained VT, sustained VT, or ventricular fibrillation. Episode frequency and duration are critical.
Not marked
Echocardiography documenting EF and structural heart disease (cardiomyopathy, prior MI) that is the substrate for ventricular arrhythmia. EF below 35% typically triggers ICD implantation.
Not marked
A medical opinion connecting ventricular arrhythmia to service-connected cardiomyopathy, prior MI, ischemic heart disease, toxic exposure, or other in-service cardiac condition.
Not marked
Stress test documenting functional exercise capacity in METs — the primary driver of the heart condition rating percentage. May include exercise-induced arrhythmia documentation.
Not marked
EP study documenting inducible VT, VT origin, and ablation procedures. Documents arrhythmia mechanism and treatment history.
Not marked
Treatment records
0 of 1 collectedICD implant records, device interrogation reports, and ICD shock log documenting appropriately-treated ventricular arrhythmia episodes. ICD shock data is powerful objective evidence of life-threatening arrhythmia.
Not marked
Lay statements
0 of 2 collectedA written statement from someone who can describe observable symptoms and how your condition affects daily life.
Not marked
Your own written account of how this condition affects your daily activities, work, and relationships. Describe your worst days.
Not marked
Benefits questionnaire
0 of 1 collectedStandardized form capturing arrhythmia type, ECG/Holter findings, ICD records, METs, ejection fraction, and functional limitations from ventricular arrhythmia.
Not marked
Service records
0 of 1 collectedMilitary medical records showing in-service treatment, complaints, or injuries related to this condition.
