[i] NYHA classification*
Class I No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea.
Class II Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest but ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea.
Class III Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest but less than ordinary activity results in fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea.
Class IV Unable to carry out any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased.
[ii] Diagnosis**
105–06 mitral and aortal stenosis (rheumatic etiology)
120–23 angina, acute myocardial infarction, complications after myocardial infarction
125 – atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
135 – aortal stenosis (nonrheumatic etiology)
165–66, 170–74 atherosclerosis, aortal aneurism, other peripheral vascular diseases, arterial embolism and thrombosis
