Partly granted
The Veteran is granted compensation for atrial fibrillation (Afib) induced by anesthesia pursuant to 38 U.S.C. §1151, and the issues of service connection for various conditions are remanded.
The deciding factor: Compensation was granted based on a finding that Afib was not reasonably foreseeable but the Veteran did not provide informed consent regarding this risk.
