I30-I52: Other forms of heart disease

Other forms of heart disease, categorized under ICD codes I30-I52, refer to a broad range of conditions that can impact the heart's structure and functioning. These conditions may include inflammation of the heart tissue (myocarditis), fluid buildup around the heart (pericarditis), and diseases associated with heart valves such as stenosis or regurgitation. Common symptoms of these heart diseases may incorporate chest discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and palpitations. They can be caused by various sources including genetic factors, infections, long-term health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, or lifestyle choices like poor diet and lack of exercise. These diseases mainly affect the cardiovascular system impacting the heart's ability to pump blood and, over time, may progress to serious health complications such as heart failure.
