I42.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy . It is found in the 2022 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2021 - Sep 30, 2022 .
In systole, the apical aneurysm becomes apparent (Ei;Eii) and contains LGE(Fi;Fii). ApHCMindicates apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement. It is important to distinguish apical aneurysms arising from ApHCM from those arising from midcavity obstruction in classic HCM.

Apical variant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy of the left ventricular (LV) apex. T wave inversions of variable degree, particularly in the left precordial leads, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common EKG findings in AHCM.
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is a rare medical condition, first introduced by Sakamoto et al. in 1976 [1], who described a cardiac disorder manifested by negative T-waves on electrocardiography, which was associated with apical hypertrophy of the left ventricle.
Other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy I42. 2 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 I42. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
There are two main types of HCM:Obstructive: The most common type, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) means the wall (septum) between the left ventricle and right ventricle thickens. ... Nonobstructive: In nonobstructive HCM, the heart muscle thickens but doesn't block blood flow.
Conclusion. Apical HCM is a variant of HCM in which the hypertrophy of the myocardium predominantly involves the apex of the left ventricle resulting in midventricular obstruction, as opposed to the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction seen in HCM.
The apex (the most inferior, anterior, and lateral part as the heart lies in situ) is located on the midclavicular line, in the fifth intercostal space. It is formed by the left ventricle. The base of the heart, the posterior part, is formed by both atria, but mainly the left.

Overview. Cardiomyopathy (kahr-dee-o-my-OP-uh-thee) is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure. The main types of cardiomyopathy include dilated, hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathy.
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHC) is a rare variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy first described in Asian patients. It is more common in Asia, although it is also seen in the Western nations. It is predominantly a hereditary disease, although it can also be present in patients with no family history.
There are two types of HCM, a more common, obstructive type (HOCM, 70%) and a less common, non-obstructive type (HNCM; in all cases of HCM, testing should be performed to detect outflow obstruction at rest and/or on provocation, and to thereby determine whether HOCM or HNCM is present.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is most often caused by abnormal genes in the heart muscle. These genes cause the walls of the heart chamber (left ventricle) to become thicker than normal.
