The Board granted service connection for a cerebrovascular disorder and an organic brain disorder, but denied service connection for a cardiac disorder. The cause of the Veteran's death was also found to be related to his service.
The deciding factor: Medical evidence established that the Veteran's inservice exposure to ionizing radiation etiologically linked his cerebrovascular disorder, stroke residuals, and organic brain disorder with his service, but not his cardiac disorders.
