What is Diastolic Heart Failure ICD 10
Diastolic Heart Failure (ICD-10 Code: I50.3) is a condition where the heart's left ventricle has difficulty relaxing and filling with blood during the diastole phase of the cardiac cycle. This results in inadequate blood flow to meet the body's needs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention1.
Unlike systolic heart failure, where the heart's pumping ability is compromised, diastolic heart failure occurs even when the heart's ejection fraction is normal. It is often associated with conditions like hypertension, aging, and diabetes2.
Diastolic heart failure is classified into different types based on its duration and severity. These include acute diastolic heart failure (I50.31), chronic diastolic heart failure (I50.32), and acute-on-chronic diastolic heart failure (I50.33)2.
Understanding and accurately coding diastolic heart failure using ICD 10 is crucial for proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of the condition. Healthcare providers use this classification to ensure patients receive appropriate care and interventions2.
