Denied
The Board denied service connection for a heart condition due to the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis or residuals, and remanded claims for hypertension and prostate cancer for further development.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current disability related to the claimed conditions, and the VA examiner found no findings, signs, or symptoms to support a diagnosis of a heart condition.
