The ICD code Q25 is used to code Congenital heart defect

Congenital heart defect (CHD), also known as a congenital heart anomaly or congenital heart disease, is a problem in the structure of the heart that is present at birth. Signs and symptoms depend on the specific type of problem. Symptoms can vary from none to life-threatening. When present they may include rapid breathing, bluish skin, poor weight gain, and feeling tired. It does not cause chest pain. Most congenital heart problems do not occur with other diseases. Complications that can result from heart defects include heart failure.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Other anomalies of pulmonary artery and pulmonary circulation (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Q25.79 and a single ICD9 code, 747.39 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
