No. This is the stuff that builds up in your veins and arteries that narrow them down. Quite common with todays diet but if you are a Nam vet or on a ship around Vietnam, your chances are better that you have Coronary Artery Disease or CAD.
My understanding is that if you have CAD and a Nam Vet as above, you will not have to fight the VA for compensation. I do not believe that you have to have a certain degree of it, just have it. As found by your family MD or DO

I think the VA has already determined I have CAD and I served in Thailand in 67-68. I need to check into this.....chris3
