About coding Ridley's syndrome

The ICD-10-CM code for Ridley's syndrome is I50.1 (Left ventricular failure, unspecified).

Within I50, choose I50.1 (Left ventricular failure, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: systolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.2), diastolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.3), combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.4), other heart failure (I50.8) and unspecified (I50.9).

Don't report I50.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: edema of lung without heart disease or heart failure (J81.-) and pulmonary edema without heart disease or failure (J81.-).

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.

Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for I50.1)

  • edema of lung without heart disease or heart failure (J81.-)
  • pulmonary edema without heart disease or failure (J81.-)
