Injury / body parts: heart, coronary artery disease

CCR §9735CCR §9785

Summary

Applicant Ryan Hosman, a correctional officer with an admitted cumulative injury to his heart in the form of coronary artery disease through September 2011, sought a Jackson reservation of jurisdiction over permanent disability after reopening his award. The WCJ denied the request, finding applicant permanent and stationary and his condition not warranting a reservation under General Foundry Service v. WCAB (Jackson). The AME, Dr. O'Neill, opined that applicant was clinically stable and permanent and stationary, and could not predict whether the disease would worsen. The Board affirmed the WCJ's order, holding that coronary artery disease in this case was not a progressive insidious disease because it was not actually worsening but had stabilized. A mere possibility of future deterioration is insufficient to support a Jackson reservation.
