- Employee: John J. Kryger

- Insurer: Worcester Insurance Company
MCCARTHY, J. The insurer appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge awarded compensation benefits to an employee on his claim for an industrially based aggravation of his pre-existing asymptomatic aortic stenosis. (Dec. 6.) Because we agree with the insurer that the employee failed to prove that his industrial accident was a major cause of the resultant disability and need for treatment under G. L. c. 152, § 1(7A), we reverse the decision.1
