Hypertensive Heart Disease With Heart Failure
When the left ventricle stops working efficiently:
What Are the Symptoms?
Information for Patients
Acute on chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure I50. 23 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50. 23 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Acute on chronic combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure. I50. 43 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
It happens when your heart is weak or enlarged. During systolic heart failure, the muscle in your left ventricle is unable to contract or shorten. This prevents blood from being pumped effectively out to your body.

Q: What is the difference between acute and chronic heart failure? A: Chronic heart failure is generally a condition that develops gradually over time, whereas acute heart failure, in most cases, occurs very suddenly and should be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention.
Heart failure often refers to early-stage weakening of the heart without congestion. As the damage to the heart progresses, it causes fluid to build up in the feet, arms, lungs, and other organs, which is referred to as congestion, throughout the body. This stage of heart failure is called CHF.
Diastolic heart failure, technically referred to as "heart failure with preserved ejection fraction" (HFpEF), is a condition where the lower left chamber of the heart (left ventricle) is not able to fill properly with blood during the diastolic phase, reducing the amount of blood pumped out to the body.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic heart condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood. It does not indicate that the heart has stopped working completely, instead the efficiency of heart has become less. Terms Heart failure and CHF are used interchangeably. Hence coder needs to code to the highest specific type ...
The types are based on which part of the heart is affected. Left sided heart failure : This is the most common type of heart failure found in medical record. It is related to the pumping of blood by left ventricle. This can be either Systolic or Diastolic.
Right sided heart failure : It is related to the pumping of blood by right ventricle. Biventricular heart failure : This is a type of heart failure in which ventricles of both the sides are unable to pump enough blood.
Additional code for heart failure should also be coded. The word “congestive” is not mandatory when coding heart failure.
This can be either Systolic or Diastolic. Systolic – It is also called HFrEF which means heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Diastolic – Another term for this is HFpEF which means heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Right sided heart failure : It is related to the pumping of blood by right ventricle.
