This case-sensitive code system https://mitre.org/fhir/space-health/CodeSystem/space-cardiovascular-effects-cs defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
post-flight-orthostatic-intolerance Post-flight Orthostatic Intolerance Inability to maintain normal blood pressure when standing after return from spaceflight
cardiac-atrophy Cardiac Atrophy Reduction in heart mass resulting from extended exposure to microgravity
vascular-remodeling Vascular Remodeling Changes in blood vessel structure and function as a result of spaceflight
baroreceptor-dysfunction Baroreceptor Dysfunction Altered function of baroreceptors responsible for regulating blood pressure during and after spaceflight
altered-cardiac-output Altered Cardiac Output Changes in the volume of blood pumped by the heart during spaceflight
microgravity-induced-cardiac-arrhythmias Microgravity-Induced Cardiac Arrhythmias Abnormal heart rhythms associated with adaptation to microgravity
venous-compliance-changes Venous Compliance Changes Alterations in the capacity of veins to distend and store blood during spaceflight
cardiovascular-deconditioning Cardiovascular Deconditioning Overall decrease in cardiovascular function resulting from spaceflight
