This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court our findings of fact and conclusions of law. In this appeal, the
Employer asserts that the trial court erred in finding a heart attack suffered by the Employee arose
out of his employment with the City of Murfreesboro and in awarding medical benefits for the
implantation of intra-coronary stints that the employer alleges is treatment for a pre-existing
condition and not a work-related injury. We agree with the findings of the trial judge and, in
accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated §50-6-225(e)(2), affirm the judgment of the trial court.
