Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for transient ischemic attacks and hypertension, finding no evidence to support a nexus between these conditions and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran's transient ischemic attacks or hypertension began during active service or were otherwise related to an in-service event, injury, or disease.
