Abstract
The California compensation laws and labor codes make adjudication of industrial coronary disease, for purposes of determining industrial liability, difficult for the attending physician. From medical writings on the subject in the past decade and from personal experience before the Industrial Accident Commission the author draws suggestions for a sounder approach on a physiological and pathological basis. Criteria for use in determining such liability in cases of coronary heart disease due to employment are outlined.
