Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for service connection for ischemic heart disease and hypertensive heart disease, finding that the severance of these conditions was proper due to clear and unmistakable errors in the original diagnoses.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran does not have a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease and that hypertensive heart disease is not on the list of diseases presumed to be due to Agent Orange exposure.
