Denied
The Board denied service connection for coronary artery disease, hypertension, and sinusitis as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against finding that the Veteran's CAD and hypertension began during active service or within one year of service, or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease. The Board also found no competent evidence linking sinusitis to a period of active service.
