The Board denied a higher initial evaluation for the veteran's supraventricular tachycardia, previously diagnosed as atrioventricular nodal tachycardia status post radiofrequency ablation, finding that her condition did not meet criteria for a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that the veteran's symptoms were well-managed with medication and follow-up, resulting in no significant functional impairment during episodes of tachycardia.
