Definitions Working Group (DWG)

The International Working Group for Defining the Nomenclatures for Paediatric and Congenital Heart Disease is hereafter referred to as the Definitions Working Group (DWG).

The Definitions Working Group is a committee within The International Working Group for Mapping and Coding of Nomenclatures for Paediatric and Congenital Heart Disease.

The Definitions Working Group will write definitions for the terms in the International Paediatric and Congenital Cardiac Code, building on the previously published definitions from the Nomenclature Working Group:
