Granted
The Board granted service connection for atypical chest pain, including atrial fibrillation, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 private medical opinion provided by G.L., a nurse practitioner, was found to be probative and supported the claim, establishing a causal relationship between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his atypical chest pain, including atrial fibrillation.
