Chapter 9: Diseases of Circulatory System (I00 – I99)
- In hypertension blood pressure in your blood vessels is too high 140/90 mmHg or higher.
- Elevated blood Pressure : Blood pressure increase conditionally not permanently.
Hypertension
- Hypertension with Heart Disease we assign two codes I11 and I50.- to I51.
- Hypertensive chronic kidney disease code from I12 and N18.- series codes we use
- Hypertensive Heart and chronic kidney disease codes from combination category I13, I50.- to I51.- and then N18 series code
- Hypertensive cerebrovascular disease codes from I60-I69
- Hypertensive Retinopathy, code H35.0 along with I10 – I15 category
If a type 1 NSTEMI evolves to STEMI, assign the STEMI code. If a type 1 STEMI converts to NSTEMI due to thrombolytic therapy, it is still coded as STEMI.
What is NSTEMI and STEMI
NSTEMI: Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Partially blockage of one of the coronary arteries, causing reduced flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles.
STEMI: A heart attack with a completely blocked coronary artery is called a STEMI. STEMI stands for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. On a heart tracing there is a particular area that is called the ST segment.
