The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is apparent in a heart disability case a claimant is not required to prove that the disability is the result of unusually heavy or unusually strenuous activity before being entitled to compensation. On the other hand, the fact that an employee sustains a heart disability during the course of his employment does not necessarily mean that the employee is entitled to compensation for a heart disability, like any other disability, is not compensable unless it arises out of and in the course of the employment concerned. See Ada Coca-Cola Bottling Co. v. Snead, Okl., 364 P.2d 696, 697 .””

2. ““An internal injury of a sudden, unusual and unexpected nature may be accidental in character, although its external cause can be attributable to ordinary work performed in a normal manner and without any untoward incident connected therewith. “An accidental injury within the meaning of the Workmen’s Compensation Act need not be attributable to one particular event but may arise from the cumulative effect of a series of exertion episodes.””
