The Board has determined that the Veteran's cardiovascular disorder is as likely as not caused or aggravated by VA's prescription of incorrect medication, and thus compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for a cardiovascular disorder is granted.
The deciding factor: The sudden cessation of Quinidine in February 1999 caused the Veteran to experience atypical chest pain due to coronary vasospasm, which resulted in a myocardial infarction and subsequent cardiovascular problems.
