Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for non-rheumatic aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve replacement due to missing treatment records and the need for an opinion on the relationship between these conditions and in-service toxic exposure.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain additional evidence and an opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's heart-related conditions in relation to his service.
