The Board has denied the veteran's claim for service connection for atrioventricular block, finding that there is no evidence showing a nexus between his current condition and his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: There was no competent medical evidence linking the veteran's atrioventricular block to his service or any of his service-connected disabilities.
