Q20-Q28: Congenital malformations of the circulatory system
Q28: Other congenital malformations of circulatory system
The group of conditions under "Other congenital malformations of circulatory system" refers to a variety of abnormalities in the circulatory system that are present at birth. These malformations could occur in different parts of the system responsible for blood circulation in the body, including the heart, blood vessels, and blood itself. They mainly result from genetic factors and might be influenced by external factors during fetal development. Common symptoms vary greatly and depend on the specific malformation, but might include fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. Disease progression also varies greatly, with some conditions causing severe health problems shortly after birth, while others might not cause symptoms until later in life. Despite the variations, these conditions are all characterized by an abnormal development in the structure or function of the circulatory system.
