Denied
The Board denied service connection for ischemic heart disease (claimed as inferior infarction) because the evidence did not show a current diagnosis of the condition during the Veteran's lifetime.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the credible evidence of record failed to demonstrate a diagnosis for ischemic heart disease at any point during the Veteran's lifetime, and therefore, service connection was not warranted.
