The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a heart attack claimed to be a work-related accident. The lower court found that the plaintiff's underlying coronary disease and lifestyle factors were the primary causes, not her normal work duties or stress. The court ruled that performing regular job tasks cannot constitute an external cause unless the employer failed to consider a medical certificate stating work contraindications.
