Cardiomyopathy is classified to ICD-10-CM category I42, Cardiomyopathy. ICD-10-CM allows the different types of cardiomyopathy to have a unique code.
I5A is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Non-ischemic myocardial injury (non-traumatic) . 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 .
I25.5 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 I25.5 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I25.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 I25.5 may differ. A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here".
ICD-10-CM allows the different types of cardiomyopathy to have a unique code. The following are the codes included under category I42: • I42.1, Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (includes hypertrophic subaortic stenosis);

Nonischemic cardiomyopathy is defined as disease of the myocardium associated with mechanical or electrical dysfunction exhibiting inappropriate ventricular hypertrophy or dilatation. The causes are numerous, but an increasing number of nonischemic disorders are being recognized as genetic in cause.
Many epidemiological and clinical studies simply classify patients as having NICM if heart failure is present but there is no clinical or electrocardiographic evidence of coronary disease.
Ischemic cardiomyopathy is most common. It occurs when the heart is damaged from heart attacks due to coronary artery disease. Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy is less common. It includes types of cardiomyopathy that are not related to coronary artery disease.
Medical Definition of nonischemic : not marked by or resulting from ischemia nonischemic tissue.
I42. 9 - Cardiomyopathy, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Ejection fraction is an indicator of heart strength. It measures the amount of oxygen-rich blood pumped out to the body with each heartbeat. A low ejection fraction is typically a sign of heart failure.
The main types of cardiomyopathy are: Dilated cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Restrictive cardiomyopathy. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
Median predicted 1-, 2- and 5-year mortalities were 4% (interquartile range 2-6%), 7% (interquartile range 5-12%) and 16% (interquartile range 12-28%) in the study population, respectively. Median estimated life expectancy was 13 years (interquartile range 9-15 years).
There is no cure for cardiomyopathy. However, you can control the condition or slow its progression.
A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the cardiac muscle itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (dilated cardiomyopathy; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; restrictive cardiomyopathy) or their etiological/pathological factors (cardiomyopathy, alcoholic; endocardial fibroelastosis).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I42.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I42) and the excluded code together.
ICD-10-CM I5A is a new 2022 ICD-10-CM code that became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as I5A. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I25.5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I25.5) and the excluded code together.
I5A is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Non-ischemic myocardial injury (non-traumatic) . 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 .
A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes. It means 'NOT CODED HERE!' An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
There are three types of cardiomyopathy: • Dilated cardiomyopathy (ICD-9-CM code 425.4) is the most common type in which the left ventricle becomes enlarged and can no longer pump blood throughout the body. This type generally occurs in middle-aged people.
For The Record. Vol. 23 No. 10 P. 27. Cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease of the heart muscle with no known etiology. The condition makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Although it may develop secondarily to a disease elsewhere in the body, such as coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease, ...
Hypertropic cardiomyopathy may be treated with medications such as beta blockers and calcium channel blockers to slow the heart’s pumping action and stabilize heart rhythms. If medications don’t work, then one of the following procedures may be recommended: septal myectomy, septal ablation, pacemaker implantation, or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Dilated cardiomyopathy may be treated with the following medications: an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor to improve the heart’s pumping ability; an angiotensin receptor blocker; digoxin/digitalis to increase the strength of the heart muscle contractions and possibly slow the heartbeat; a diuretic to reduce fluid retention; or a beta blocker to improve cardiac function.
If the cardiomyopathy has progressed to end stage, the patient will need a heart transplant.
After a thorough physical examination, the physician may perform the following diagnostic tests if cardiomyopathy is suspected: a chest x-ray to determine whether the heart is enlarged; an echocardiogram to view the size of the heart and the motion as it beats; an electrocardiogram to show disturbances in the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormal rhythms and areas of injury; cardiac MRI; cardiac catheterization to measure pressure within the heart chambers; or blood tests such as B-type natriuretic peptide, a protein produced in the heart that rises when the heart is subjected to the stress of CHF.
Although it may develop secondarily to a disease elsewhere in the body, such as coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease, the underlying cause may never be identified. Cardiomyopathy may lead to heart failure, blood clots, a heart murmur, and cardiac arrest.
