AHA Coding Clinic® for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS - 2020 Issue 3; Ask the EditorThe patient, who has a history of heart failure, hypertension, and coronary artery disease, presents with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. As a secondary diagnosis, the provider recorded HFmrEF, meaning heart failure with mid-range or mildly reduced ejection fraction (EF). How should heart failure with mid-range or mildly reduced EF be coded? ... Show

We have their has been significant changes in the number of diagnosis codes in ICD 10 version. When we were using ICD 9 codes we never has to confusion in choosing the correct codes except few complicate ones like sepsis, pregnancy complications etc. But, in ICD 10 codes it is sometimes difficult to find an easy codes. For example, earlier we had only few ICD 9 codes for Heart failure but the new ICD 10 codes for heart failure has increased significantly. Category 428 was used in ICD 9 for coding heart failure ICD 10 we have I50 category to be used for coding heart failure. Now, if you compare both these category, you will find ICD 10 codes have turned alphanumeric and have high number of codes compared to ICD 9 for heart failure.

Heart Failure ICD 10 codes list There is number of ICD 10 new codes have been added in 2022. These ICD 10 codes are very specific and will give more accurate information about the diagnosis. Checkout the below list of ICD 10 code for Heart Failures. I50.1 Left ventricular failure I50.20 Unspecified systolic (congestive) heart failure I50.21 Acute systolic (congestive) heart failure I50.22 Chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure I50.23 Acute on chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure I50.30 Unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.31 Acute diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.32 Chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.33 Acute on chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.40 Unspecified combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.41 Acute combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.42 Chronic combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure I50.43 Acute on chronic combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure Other Synonyms Include: congestive heart failure icd 10

What type of heart failure is reduced ejection fraction?Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) happens when the left side of your heart doesn't pump blood out to the body as well as normal. It's sometimes called systolic heart failure.
Is low ejection fraction the same as congestive heart failure?A low ejection fraction lets a doctor know that the active pumping phase of the heart isn't working. It's usually tied to some, but not all, types of heart failure. Heart failure with a low EF is called "systolic" heart failure.
What is the difference between heart failure with reduced ejection fraction EF and preserved EF?Patients with reduced LVEF (REF) have primarily systolic dysfunction; those with preserved LVEF (PEF) have primarily diastolic dysfunction. Both presentations are common in hypertensive patients, and both are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates.
