Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a heart disorder, including arteriosclerotic heart disease status/post myocardial infarction with stable angina and cardiomyopathy.
The deciding factor: The VA opinion concluded that the Veteran's current heart disorders are less likely than not caused by his in-service toxic exposure activities and more likely due to genetic predisposition.
