Ischemic heart disease Board decisions

The Board denied the claim for DIC benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 as it was determined that the Veteran's death was not due to VA hospital care, medical or surgical treatment, and there was no evidence of fault on the part of VA.

The Veteran's coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension are aggravated by his service-connected diabetes mellitus, but a higher initial evaluation for diabetes is not warranted.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, a heart disorder, peripheral neuropathy of the lower extremities, a left foot disorder, a right foot disorder, and a skin disorder.

The Veteran's pulmonary hypertension is due to service-connected asbestosis, but his arteriosclerotic heart disease is not related to the service-connected condition.

The Board found that the Veteran's death was not related to his service and denied all claims.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the claims.

The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, finding that his coronary artery disease was related to his service-connected cold injury residuals.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the issues on appeal.

The Veteran has abandoned his appeals for service connection for COPD, a heart disorder, and Parkinson's disease due to failure to respond to VA requests for identifying information and medical evidence within one year.

The Board found that the Veteran's heart disability, hypertension, and erectile dysfunction did not have onset during active service, did not manifest within one year of separation from active duty, and are not otherwise etiology related to the Veteran's active service.

The Board denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death as the result of exposure to ionizing radiation, finding no evidence linking the causes of his death (atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension) to his military service or exposure to ionizing radiation.

The Board denied service connection for actinic keratosis, coronary artery disease, and hypertension as they were not incurred during active military service and are not related to any incident thereof, including exposure to Agent Orange.

The Board denied service connection for hypertension and coronary artery disease, finding no evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's service or his service-connected PTSD.

The appeal was remanded for additional medical evidence to support the claim of service connection for ischemic heart disease and hypertension as secondary to PTSD.

The Board denied service connection for a heart disorder, Meniere's disease, bilateral knee disorder, bilateral shoulder disorder, and sinusitis for accrued benefits purposes as the evidence did not support that these conditions were incurred in or caused by active military service.

The appeal is remanded for additional development, including obtaining VA treatment records and scheduling a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed left ankle and foot disorder.

The veteran's heart disease (coronary artery disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy) is granted as secondary to service-connected hypertension.

The Board has granted service connection for a skin disorder, coronary artery disease, and peripheral neuropathy. The claims for hypertension, liver disability, and skin ulcer of the left leg have been remanded.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for additional development and readjudication of the claims.

The Board denied service connection for type II diabetes mellitus, diabetic retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and a heart disorder as they were not shown to be related to the veteran's active duty service or secondary to his service-connected condition.
