About coding heart asthenia
The ICD-10-CM code for heart asthenia is I50.9 (Heart failure, unspecified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on I50.9.
Within I50, choose I50.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: left ventricular failure, unspecified (I50.1), systolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.2), diastolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.3), combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.4) and other heart failure (I50.8).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of I50.9, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: fluid overload unrelated to congestive heart failure (E87.70).
Code first: heart failure complicating abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.8), heart failure due to hypertension (I11.0), heart failure due to hypertension with chronic kidney disease (I13.-), heart failure following surgery (I97.13-) and 2 more.
