SMITH, J. The widow, Margaret Burroughs, appeals from a decision denying her claim that her husband sustained a personal injury arising out of and in the course of his employment. Raymond Burroughs suffered a myocardial infarction and died at his workplace on April 29, 1997. Mrs. Burroughs contends that the judge erred by failing to properly apply G.L. c. 152, § 7A. We agree. We therefore reverse the denial of benefits and recommit the case for further proceedings.
