983 vetted Board decisions in 2011.
The Board has granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death due to ischemic heart disease, which is considered a direct result of his active service in Vietnam.
The Board has determined that service connection is granted for heart disease related to herbicide exposure in service, but hypertension is not related to service or any incident therein.
The Board has determined that there is no currently diagnosed heart disorder related to service or presumed exposure to herbicides, and thus the claim for service connection for a heart disorder is denied.
