  • Title: Psychosocial stress and ischaemic heart disease: an evaluation in the light of the diseases' attribution to war service.
    Author: Tennant C.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Psychiatry; 1982 Jun; 16(2):31-6. PubMed ID: 6957180.
    Abstract:
    This review of the psychosocial aetiology of ischaemic heart disease is prompted by a recent decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to accept that the ischaemic heart disease of a non combatant World War II veteran could be attributed to his war service. In the light of existing clinical and research evidence the Tribunal appears to have erred in its judgement. The precedent this particular decision establishes may prove extremely costly.
