Dismissed
The Board of Veterans' Appeals vacated its April 29, 2024, remand order on the issues of entitlement to service connection for a heart condition and entitlement to TDIU because the appellant had submitted a timely request to opt-in these issues into the modernized review system.
The deciding factor: The issues were not properly before the Board in the legacy appeals system due to the appellant's opt-in request from the legacy system to the modernized review system.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
