I24.1Dressler's syndrome

I24.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Dressler's syndrome. It belongs to category I24 (other acute ischemic heart diseases), block I20-I25 (ischemic heart diseases) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within I24 (other acute ischemic heart diseases), I24.1 is specifically for Dressler's syndrome. Related codes cover acute coronary thrombosis not resulting in myocardial infarction (I24.0), other forms of acute ischemic heart disease (I24.8) and acute ischemic heart disease, unspecified (I24.9).

Don't report I24.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: postinfarction angina (I23.7).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 314 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.0873), DRG 315 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9508) and DRG 316 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6677), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 411.0 (Postmyocardial infarction syndrome).
