The Board has determined that the Veteran's supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is directly related to his active service, and thus grants service connection for SVT.
The deciding factor: The Board found it at least as likely as not that the Veteran's current SVT condition was initially onset during a period of Active Duty Training School (ACDUTRA), which is considered part of his military service.
