Granted
The Board granted a separate 10 percent rating for atrial fibrillation, which requires one to four cardioversion treatments per year.
The deciding factor: A separate rating is warranted as the evidence shows that the Veteran has 1-4 cardioversion treatments per year for atrial fibrillation associated with service-connected arteriosclerotic heart disease.
