How the VA Rates Hypertensive Heart Disease (It’s Not Just Blood Pressure)

This video breaks down how the VA actually rates hypertensive heart disease—and why it’s not based on blood pressure numbers alone. You’ll learn how the VA focuses on heart function, including key metrics like METs and ejection fraction, and how these measurements determine the severity of your condition under Diagnostic Code 7007.

It also explains what the VA looks for across your medical records, including symptom patterns, functional limitations, and consistent testing over time. You’ll understand common mistakes veterans make and how tools like VetsPortal and KDVMA (K&D Veterans Medical Assessments) can help you build stronger, evidence-based support for your claim.
