In this article will be described the necessary basic elements to be taken into account when using a forensic medical approach to diagnose a person with ischemic heart disease, both in clinical history, physical examination and complementary studies. In addition, is a brief explanation of how to use the table of coronary heart disease for the allocation of a percentage based on the Guidelines for Evaluation of Permanent Impairment of the American Academy of Medicine and thereby provide to the medical examiner the necessary tools to assign subjectively the percentage of loss of functional capacity by the effects of ischemic heart disease.

Keywords : Forensic assessment; permanet impairement; work capacity; Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment of the American Medical Association in coronary artery disease.
