| The fact that Zacarias was also diagnosed as having hypertension and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was of no moment. As aforequoted in Rañises, the incidence of a listed occupational disease, whether or not associated with a non-listed ailment, is enough basis for requiring compensation[15] although modern medicine has in fact recognized that diabetes, heart complications, hypertension and even kidney disorder are all inter-related diseases. | |||||

| In Government Service Insurance System v. Gabriel,[12] we ruled that acute myocardial infarction is listed as an occupational disease, and its incidence, whether or not associated with a non-listed ailment, is enough basis for requiring compensation.

| Second, even if we were to assume that Parkinson's Disease is not compensable, there can be no question that Essential Hypertension is a compensable illness, following our ruling in Government Service Insurance System v. Gabriel,[18] that hypertension and heart ailments are compensable illnesses. The respondent herein was diagnosed to have developed Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block,[19] a disease caused by a delay in the depolarization of the right ventricle.[20] Right Bundle Branch Block is an intraventricular conduction defect common in individuals with otherwise normal hearts as well as in many diseased processes, including ischemic heart disease, inflammatory disease, infiltrative disease, cardiomyopathy, and postcardiotomy.[21] We note that respondent was also diagnosed as having hypertension and a medical certification was issued to that effect. | |||||
