LINK BETWEEN HEART ATTACK AND WORK NOT ESTABLISHED BY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

The Third Department, reversing the Workers' Compensation Board, found there was insufficient evidence linking claimant's heart attack (myocardial infarction) to his work:

While the Board is entitled to resolve conflicting medical opinions, there must be “medical opinion evidence regarding the probability of a causal relationship supported by a rational basis; a general expression of possibility will not suffice” … . Here, because the testimony of claimant's treating cardiologist expressed merely the possibility that the physical activities in which claimant engaged could have caused his myocardial infarction, such testimony falls short of the required degree of medical proof. As a result, the Board's determination based upon that testimony lacked a rational basis and was not supported by substantial evidence … . Matter of Hartigan v Albany County Sheriff's Dept., 2016 NY Slip Op 04280, 3rd Dept 6-2-16
