Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a heart condition, to include left anterior fascicular block (LAFB), due to an incomplete medical opinion that did not address secondary aggravation.
The deciding factor: The April 2025 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address secondary aggravation of the Veteran's heart condition by his service-connected hypertension.
