Other congenital malformations of circulatory system - what does this mean

Other congenital malformations of the circulatory system occur when the normal development of the heart and/or its blood vessels is disrupted during the prenatal period, leading to structural defects that can lead to various forms of heart disease. these malformations can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, and can range from mild to severe in severity.

What happens during the disease - other congenital malformations of circulatory system

Other congenital malformations of the circulatory system are caused by abnormal development of the heart or the blood vessels during fetal development. this can result in structural abnormalities of the heart, such as abnormal valves, septal defects, or aortic stenosis, as well as malformations of the blood vessels, such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations. these malformations can lead to a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, and arrhythmias.
