|
- the usual clinical criteria of necrotising fasciitis are met;

IV of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of Cardiac
|
Impairment and which is defined and assessable only after the provision of
|
maximal medical therapy according to treatment practice guidelines for at
|
least 6 months.
|
The diagnosis of Cardiomyopathy has to be supported by echocardiographic
|
findings of compromised ventricular performance.
|
Cardiomyopathy as a result of valvular heart disease or drug and alcohol
|
abuse is excluded. The diagnosis must be confirmed by a consultant
|
cardiologist.
|
The NYHA Classification of Cardiac Impairment (Source: "Current Medical
|
Diagnosis and Treatment - 39th Edition"):
|
Class I: No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not
|
cause undue fatigue, dyspnea, or anginal pain.
|
Class II: Slight limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity results
|
in symptoms.
|
Class III: Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but less
