The Board granted service connection for sinus bradycardia, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current diagnosis of sinus bradycardia and reports of chest pain during service, with an opinion relating the subjective complaints to the diagnosed condition, leading to a finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the condition arose in service.
