Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for atrial fibrillation as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected asthma, but remanded the issue of a heart disability, to include supraventricular arrhythmia, other than atrial fibrillation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on competent and credible medical evidence establishing a nexus between the diagnosed atrial fibrillation and the service-connected asthma.
