Granted
The Board granted service connection for valvular heart disease, cardiac arrythmia and atrial fibrillation on a secondary basis to the service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record persuasively demonstrates that the diagnosed valvular heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation were caused by the service-connected HTN.
