Hi,
So I am curious as to what you may think my rating could be for my Neurocardiogenic Syncope? In my NARSUM they categorized it under "Hearth Conditions: (Including Ischemic & Non-ischemic Heart Disease, Arrhythmias, Valvular Disease and Cardiac Surgery). They listed my METS to be >3-5.
From my review/research I think it could be at least 60%. What do you think?
Thank you in advance!
