Ischemic heart disease Board decisions

The Board found that the Veteran's heart disease, including coronary artery disease, was not related to his service in the Indiana National Guard and denied the claim for service connection.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for a heart disorder, to include ischemic heart disease, was granted due to the presumption of herbicide exposure in Vietnam.

The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for hypertension and coronary artery disease, finding that there is no evidence of a chronic condition in service or within one year after separation. The Board also found that the current conditions are not etiologically related to service.

The Veteran's appeal for service connection for a recurrent cardiovascular disorder, to include coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction residuals, and coronary artery bypass graft residuals is denied.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for ischemic heart disease/coronary artery disease, finding no evidence of herbicide exposure and insufficient medical nexus to establish a direct relationship with service.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and TDIU are being remanded due to the need for current VA examinations, as well as the retrieval of outstanding VA treatment records.

The Board has reopened the previously denied and final claims of service connection for a heart disability (Atrial Fibrillation) and low back disability. The claim for service connection for hypertension is also granted.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development of his medical records and a retrospective evaluation to determine the severity of his coronary artery disease from April 28, 2004 to June [redacted], 2011.

The Board denied the appellant's request to reopen her claim for service connection for the cause of death due to lack of new and material evidence, including regarding exposure to herbicides during service.

The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for ischemic heart disease is being remanded due to the need for a new VA examination and consideration of outstanding medical records.

The Board has remanded the case due to a failure to schedule a video conference hearing for the Veteran. The Veteran's claims of service connection for congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension are pending.

The Veteran's death was caused by his service-connected PTSD, but the Board is remanding to determine if it contributed to or aggravated his arteriosclerotic heart disease and/or ventricular fibrillation.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.

The Veteran's ischemic heart disease is granted service connection on a presumptive basis due to herbicide exposure during his Vietnam service.

The Veteran withdrew his claim of entitlement to a rating in excess of 30 percent for coronary artery disease before the Board could make a decision.

The Veteran's current heart disability, diagnosed as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, had its onset in service and the Board has granted service connection for this condition.

The Veteran has withdrawn his appeals for all issues on appeal.

The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is being remanded due to the need for additional development, including an examination and obtaining medical records.

The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's claimed conditions, finding that he was not exposed to herbicide agents during service and did not meet the criteria for presumptive service connection.
