Granted
The Board granted an initial 100 percent rating for the service connected ischemic heart disease with a history of myocardial infarction, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of dyspnea, fatigue, angina, dizziness, or syncope at a workload of 3 METs or less supported a 100 percent rating under the applicable criteria.
