The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.
The [[hallmark]] of  [[cyanosis]] is blue discoration of [[skin]] and [[mucous membrane]]<nowiki/>s. Obtaining the [[History and Physical examination|history]] is most important aspect because of its association with wide variety of disorders ([[Heart|cardiac]], [[Lung|pulmonary]], [[vascular]], [[Neurology|neurologic]] and [[Neuromuscular disease|neuromuscular disorders]]). [[History and Physical examination|History]] taking also provide clues to specific [[Etiology|causes]], precipitating factors and associated  [[Comorbidity|comorbid conditions]].

==History and Symptoms==
 
[[Cyanosis]] is a [[symptom]] of a [[disease]] process.Obtaining  [[History and Physical examination|history]] is the most important aspect of making a [[diagnosis]] of diseases associated with [[cyanosis]]. It provides insight into the [[Causes|cause]], precipitating factors, and associated [[Comorbidity|comorbidities]]. A complete history will help determine the correct [[diagnosis]], [[therapy]], and the [[prognosis]]. Specific histories including [[symptom]] onset, pre-existing [[Respiratory disease|lung diseases]], [[Congenital heart disease|congenital heart]] diseases, the presence of [[CNS Disease|CNS lesions]], [[Symptom|associated symptoms]], and [[:Category:Drugs|drug]] usage have to be obtained.  
The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

Overview

The hallmark of cyanosis is blue discoration of skin and mucous membranes. Obtaining the history is most important aspect because of its association with wide variety of disorders (cardiac, pulmonary, vascular, neurologic and neuromuscular disorders). History taking also provide clues to specific causes, precipitating factors and associated comorbid conditions.

History and Symptoms

Cyanosis is a symptom of a disease process.Obtaining history is the most important aspect of making a diagnosis of diseases associated with cyanosis. It provides insight into the cause, precipitating factors, and associated comorbidities. A complete history will help determine the correct diagnosis, therapy, and the prognosis. Specific histories including symptom onset, pre-existing lung diseases, congenital heart diseases, the presence of CNS lesions, associated symptoms, and drug usage have to be obtained.
