SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR AN ANGIOPLASTYCan you get ssd ssi disability for having had an angioplasty?

An angioplasty is a cardiac surgical procedure, the aim of which is to open a blocked coronary artery through the use of a balloon dilation device. Angioplasties are used to treat ischemic coronary artery disease, a condition that is caused by a buildup of plaque along arterial walls. This plaque buildup "occludes" arteries and reduces the amount of oxygen that may travel to the heart. And the potential outcome of such occlusions can be either significant chest pain, or a myocardial infarction (heart attack) Individuals who have had an angioplasty performed at some point may find the need to file a disability application. However, as with all impairments, whether or not an individual will be approved for disability benefits will depend on the extent to which their conditions functionally restrict them. Regarding heart cases and applications for ssd, the social security administration will, typically, attempt to project (based on a claimant's medical records) a claimant's recovery and forecast their functional restrictions. There are a number of sections on this website that answer questions about the social security disability process, both in a specific manner and generally as well. Learning about the ssd and ssi system, of course, can potentially make a difference with regard to how well a claimant's case proceeds through the system.
