I26-I28: Pulmonary heart disease and diseases of pulmonary circulation
I28: Other diseases of pulmonary vessels
Other diseases of the pulmonary vessels encompass a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels connected to the lungs. These conditions can occur due to a variety of causes including infections, traumatic injury, or related systemic illnesses such as autoimmune diseases. Affected individuals may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. The progression of these disorders can vary greatly from slow and progressive to rapidly deteriorating, depending on the underlying cause. This group of diseases can impact the circulatory system, particularly the heart and lungs. The severity and type of symptoms can differ from person to person, and regular medical check-ups are necessary to monitor condition progression and optimize care. Remember that, while this description provides general information, each specific condition within this group has unique characteristics and may not present in the same way.
