I am a Vetnam Vet with exposure to Agent Orange. About ten yeards I was diagnosed by the VA with artial fibriliation. In 2005, I went to the VA for a Agent Orange Registration Examination and I received notificastion that abnomalities were found. The AO testing revealed the following conclusions and impressions :
1. Left ventricle:Mild Concentric Hypertrophy. All segements contract normally. Ejection fraction of 58%.
Normal systolic function. right ventricle normal in size and function.
2. Atria: Both are severly dilated, left more than right
3. mitral valve: Normal. forward flows show a single component consisitent with afib
4. Moderate biatriaal emlargement, left more than right
5. All other impression were normal.
I have requested my current records form VA. Just went for echo and stress test due to chest pain and tightness.
The VA is now recognizing IHD as a AO service related condition. Need to know if my condition would qualify? Thanks
