The Board has determined that the veteran's supraventricular tachycardia with residuals of radiofrequency ablation is related to his active service and granted service connection. However, there is no evidence of current pulmonary symptoms or nodules on the lungs, thus denying service connection for a spot on the lungs.
The deciding factor: The Board found that while the veteran had supraventricular tachycardia during service, which was first shown in service and resolved with radiofrequency ablation, there is no evidence of current pulmonary symptoms or nodules on the lungs to support service connection for a spot on the lungs.
