ATC code C: Information from Answers.com

ATC code C Cardiovascular system is a section of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the WHO for the classification of drugs and other medical products.^[1]

Codes for veterinary use (ATCvet codes) can be created by placing the letter Q in front of the human ATC code: QC...^[2]
