Denied
The Board denied service connection for a heart disability and hypertension, finding that the evidence did not support a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively establish that the Veteran's current cardiac disabilities or hypertension began during active service or were otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
