- What's the difference between 60% and 100% for Hypertensive Heart Disease?
- 60%: Heart failure symptoms appear at a workload between 3.1 and 5.0 METs. 100%: Heart failure symptoms appear at the lowest workload the schedule measures — 3.0 METs or less.
- Can a secondary condition raise my rating above 60%?
