The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and a higher initial rating for supraventricular arrhythmia with cardiac ablation and secondary implanted loop recorder, finding that the evidence did not support entitlement to these benefits.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that service connection could only be established as secondary to another condition, and there were no additional facts found that would warrant an earlier effective date or a higher rating during the review period.
