ICD-10-CM assumes a causal relationship and this is coded as hypertensive heart disease with CHF and an additional code for the specific type of heart failure. In this case, the PDX of hypertensive heart disease with CHF (I11.0) is reported as the PDX followed by the code for the heart failure (I50.9) Under the Category I50 in the ICD-10-CM ...
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

Unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure
ICD-10 code I50. 3 for Diastolic (congestive) heart failure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Congestive heart failure can be due to the following: Systolic dysfunction (reduced ejection fraction) Diastolic dysfunction (relaxation or filling abnormality) Valvular heart disease.
Diastolic heart failure, a major cause of morbidity and mortality, is defined as symptoms of heart failure in a patient with preserved left ventricular function. It is characterized by a stiff left ventricle with decreased compliance and impaired relaxation, which leads to increased end diastolic pressure.
HFpEF is characterized by abnormal diastolic function: there is an increase in the stiffness of the left ventricle, which causes a decrease in left ventricular relaxation during diastole, with resultant increased pressure and/or impaired filling.
Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction is sometimes referred to as diastolic failure or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). People with Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction have evidence of abnormal diastolic function, but have not yet developed any symptoms of heart failure.
There is no code within the ICD-10-CM code set for diastolic dysfunction. When you look up dysfunction, heart in the alphabetic index it leads to I51. 89 Other ill-defined heart disease and likely the use of the diastolic heart failure code applied to documentation of the term dysfunction would be denied.
There is growing recognition that congestive heart failure (CHF) caused by a predominant abnormality in diastolic function (ie, diastolic heart failure) is both common and causes significant morbidity and mortality.
In people with diastolic dysfunction, the echocardiogram is evaluated for the characteristics of diastolic relaxation; in other words, for “stiffness.” In people with diastolic heart failure, the echocardiogram shows diastolic stiffness along with normal systolic (pumping) function of the heart.
If you have systolic heart failure, it means your heart does not contract effectively with each heartbeat. If you have diastolic heart failure, it means your heart isn't able to relax normally between beats. Both types of left-sided heart failure can lead to right-sided heart failure.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), also referred to as diastolic heart failure, is characterized by signs and symptoms of heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than 50%.
Essentially all HFpEF patients have diastolic dysfunction,7 specifically, reduced LV passive compliance and/or slowed or incomplete relaxation. Various other cardiovascular abnormalities are common,3–6 including subtle abnormalities of systolic function.
An even more extreme form of cardiovascular stiffening can be seen in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which comprises ∼40∼50% of elderly patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure.

Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of the signs and symptoms of heart failure, which typically includes difficulty breathing (dyspnea), leg or feet swelling, and fatigue. ADHF is a common and potentially serious cause of acute respiratory distress. The condition is caused by severe congestion ...
