Common Heart Conditions

In order to determine if a claimant is eligible for benefits, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will first check if the individuals condition is listed in their Blue Book. The book contains conditions that are considered so severe that an individual will immediately be considered disabled.
Some cardiovascular disorders for which people may apply for SSDI include:

  • Chronic heart failure
  • Ischemic heart disease
  • Recurrent Arrhythmias
  • Aneurysm of aorta
  • Peripheral arterial disease
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Arteriosclerosis

If your condition is not listed in the SSA Blue Book it does not mean you will be denied benefits. At Dayes Law Firm PC we will work hard to ensure that you obtain the benefits you need to get your life back on track.

Signs of Heart Disease

There are several contributing factors to heart disease, such as years of exertion at a physically demanding job, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or stress. Some common signs of heart disease include:

  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Pain in the neck or jaw
  • Dizziness
  • Fainting or near fainting

Unfortunately, many individuals who suffer from cardiovascular problems are not aware of the issue until they suffer from a heart attack or stroke. It is important to watch for cardiovascular symptoms and to speak with a doctor to obtain a medical diagnosis.
