Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a heart disability, as there was no evidence that the condition increased in severity during his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence suggesting the Veteran's heart disability increased or worsened in severity during or due to his active service. The presumption of aggravation does not attach.
