Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is related to his service.
The deciding factor: The initial opinion was inadequate and did not address whether the condition was at least as likely as not incurred in or due to service, including exercise and/or stress experienced during service.
