Sec. 408.008.  COMPENSABILITY OF HEART ATTACKS.  A heart attack is a compensable injury under this subtitle only if:
(1)  the attack can be identified as:
(A)  occurring at a definite time and place;  and
(B)  caused by a specific event occurring in the course and scope of the employee's employment;
(2)  the preponderance of the medical evidence regarding the attack indicates that the employee's work rather than the natural progression of a preexisting heart condition or disease was a substantial contributing factor of the attack;  and
(3)  the attack was not triggered solely by emotional or mental stress factors, unless it was precipitated by a sudden stimulus.
