- in response to another_guy_named_steve's comment -
There are lots of subtypes of each category of these conditions but these are the main types. I don't think anyone could count all the different subtypes.

Answer by another_guy_named_steve
Black Nightshade lumps Congenital Heart Disease into one big category, but there are 35 different heart defects that can be considered CHD... and variations of each one.
