The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for right bundle branch block and mild right atrial, right ventricular and inferior vena cava dilation (cardiovascular disability) as well as his claim for hematuria. The evidence does not support a current diagnosis of any of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is no current diagnosed cardiovascular disorder or hematuria in the veteran's case, thus denying service connection for both claims.
