    Any heart problems require that a pre-eval be sent to MEPS prior to taking a physical, but the following conditions are permanent disqualifiers from enlisting in the Army National Guard:

    -Arrhythmia if symptomatic or appearing on EKG
    -Coronary artery disease
    -Heart Attack
    -Pericarditis
    -PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) if sufficiently symptomatic to require treatment
    -Supraventricular tachycardia (unless there has been no recurrence during the preceding 2 years while off medication)
    -Tachycardia (pulse rate of 100 or greater) if persistant
    -Valvular diseases (as defined in 6130.4 page 24)
    -Ventricular conduction disturbances (as defined in 6130.4 page 25)
    -VTguard
