The Veteran's service-connected supraventricular arrhythmia is manifested with more than four episodes per year, and the Board has granted an initial compensable disability rating of 30 percent.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence established that the Veteran's heart disability was manifested in more than 4 episodes a year documented by ECG or Holter monitor, which most nearly approximates a 30 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Code 7010.
