The Board found that the preponderance of the evidence does not support a conclusion that the veteran had an acute myocardial infarction during active duty for training or inactive duty training, thus denying his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: Medical records do not support the veteran's contention that he experienced a myocardial infarction during INACDUTRA.
