Cardiology Question for the Week of April 9, 2018
In echocardiogram interpretations, I see “LV diastolic dysfunction (pseudonormal filling)” frequently and need some advice as to what would be the correct ICD-10 code.
The 2018 ICD-10 code book takes me to the entries below:
Dysfunction – Heart: I51.89 (other ill-defined heart diseases) or Dysfunction – Ventricular: I51.9 (heart disease, unspecified)
Left: reversible following … I51.81 (Takotsubo syndrome)
A Google search for “pseudonormal filling” give me I50.30—unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure, but there is no choice for this in the code book.
