The Board has remanded the veteran's claim for a cardiovascular disability, including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation due to incomplete information from the previous examination. The examiner is requested to determine if the veteran's symptoms on September 13, 1992 were analogous to an acute myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest.
The deciding factor: The Board requires a specific determination regarding whether the veteran's atrial fibrillation was analogous to an acute myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest during INACDUTRA.
