We has to assume it's minimally single vessel "severe" CAD due to the stent. For his age, the Gen Re underwriting manual gives him a minima best case of T-2, assuming his BPs, Chol are within normal limits, and a recent workup shows no current ischemia (active disease) and his LV ejection fraction is acceptable >54%. (Gen Re is fairly agressive)

Should more vessels have disease (which is entirely possible, just not to an extent needing a stent), the ejection fraction is less than desired, labs are poor, he uses tobacco in any form, it rapidly escalates up from there.

Best case - T-2.
If more than 1 vessel was involved - it jumps to T-5.
If he uses tobacco(and people still will, post-heart attack) - add another 2 tables onto base rate.

Cheers.





Great having an underwriter here.
