After a heart attack, patients usually undergo stress testing and as well as cardiac catheterization to determine where the coronary arteries have blockages. Without the information from a stress test, it's difficult to determine your husband's functional capacity and what his long-term prognosis is. I think that would be necessary before determining whether he's eligible for disability. As for available literature, I would need more information to point you in that direction. I suggest that you meet with your husband's physician to go over these issues and to more carefully address the issue of disability.
