While there is no cure for valvular heart disease, there are many treatments as well as many steps you can take to manage your condition. If your valvular heart disease is mild, you may not need treatment for many years. You may also be able to prevent your condition from worsening by following healthy lifestyle practices such as exercising, not smoking, and maintaining a healthy diet.
What causes valvular heart disease?
When signs and symptoms occur, they might include:
In some cases, heart valve diseases can be cured, relieving the symptoms of heart valve disease and improving quality of life and the general prognosis. However, the only way to completely cure heart valve problems is through heart valve surgery to fix the physical problem.

A family history of heart disease is generally defined by having a first-degree male relative (i.e., father or brother) who had a heart attack by age 55, or a first-degree female relative (i.e., mother or sister) by age 65. Just as important, consider lifestyle changes that improve your heart health.

People with one or more close relatives who have or had early coronary artery disease (CAD) are at an increased risk for CAD. For men, early CAD is being diagnosed before age 55. For women, early CAD is being diagnosed before 65.
For hierarchical condition categories (HCC) used in Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment plans, certain diagnosis codes are used as to determine severity of illness, risk, and resource utilization. HCC impacts are often overlooked in the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM conversion. The physician should examine the patient each year and compliantly document the status of all chronic and acute conditions. HCC codes are payment multipliers.
Note: There is nothing in the documentation that says that there was an error in the prescription for Coumadin or that the patient took it incorrectly. If the prescription was correctly prescribed and correctly administered/taken then it would be an adverse effect.
Z82.49 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Family history of ischemic heart disease and other diseases of the circulatory system . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. 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.
Z82.49 is exempt from POA reporting ( Present On Admission).
Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also: History.
Valvular heart disease is any cardiovascular disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left side of heart and the pulmonic and tricuspid valves on the right side of heart). These conditions occur largely as a consequence of aging, but may also be the result of congenital (inborn) abnormalities or specific disease or physiologic processes including rheumatic heart disease and pregnancy.
The evaluation of individuals with valvular heart disease who are or wish to become pregnant is a difficult issue. Issues that have to be addressed include the risks during pregnancy to the mother and the developing fetus by the presence of maternal valvular heart disease as a pre-existing disease in pregnancy . Normal physiological changes during pregnancy require, on average, a 50% increase in circulating blood volume that is accompanied by an increase in cardiac output that usually peaks between the midportion of the second and third trimesters. The increased cardiac output is due to an increase in the stroke volume, and a small increase in heart rate, averaging 10 to 20 beats per minute. Additionally uterine circulation and endogenous hormones cause systemic vascular resistance to decrease and a disproportionately lowering of diastolic blood pressure causes a wide pulse pressure. Inferior vena caval obstruction from a gravid uterus in the supine position can result in an abrupt decrease in cardiac preload, which leads to hypotension with weakness and lightheadedness. During labor and delivery cardiac output increases more in part due to the associated anxiety and pain, as well as due to uterine contractions which will cause an increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Both asymptomatic severe and symptomatic aortic stenosis are treated with aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery. Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is an alternative to AVR and is recommended in high risk patients who may not be suitable for surgical AVR. Any angina is treated with short-acting nitrovasodilators, beta-blockers and/or calcium blockers. Any hypertension is treated aggressively, but caution must be taken in administering beta-blockers. Any heart failure is treated with digoxin, diuretics, nitrovasodilators and, if not contraindicated, cautious inpatient administration of ACE inhibitors. Moderate stenosis is monitored with echocardiography every 1–2 years, possibly with supplementary cardiac stress test. Severe stenosis should be monitored with echocardiography every 3–6 months.
Stenosis of the aortic valve is characterized by a thickening of the valvular annulus or leaflets that limits the ability of blood to be ejected from the left ventricle into the aorta. Stenosis is typically the result of valvular calcification but may be the result of a congenitally malformed bicuspid aortic valve.
Aortic and mitral valve disorders. Aortic and mitral valve disease is termed left heart diseases. Diseases of these valves are more prevalent than diseases of the pulmonary or tricuspid valve due to the higher pressures the left heart experiences. Stenosis of the aortic valve is characterized by a thickening of the valvular annulus or leaflets ...
Medical signs of aortic regurgitation include increased pulse pressure by increased systolic and decreased diastolic blood pressure, but these findings may not be significant if acute. The patient may have a diastolic decrescendo murmur best heard at left sternal border, water hammer pulse, Austin Flint murmur, and a displaced apex beat down and to the left. A third heart sound may be present
Mitral insufficiency can be caused by dilation of the left heart, often a consequence of heart failure. In these cases, the left ventricle of the heart becomes enlarged and causes displacement of the attached papillary muscles, which control the mitral.
Remember from last month’s blog that disease in multiple valves is assumed to be rheumatic. Those codes can be found in I08.
This month, we’ll look at coding for mitral valve disease. The mitral valve is located in the left side of the heart between the atrium and ventricle. This valve is generally considered the second most important valve, secondary to the aortic valve. When the left atrium contracts, the mitral valve opens allowing the contents to be pushed into the left ventricle. Contraction of the left ventricle causes the mitral valve to close, preventing backward flow of blood into the left atrium. A normal healthy mitral valve has two leaflets that when closed, meet together closing the opening between the two heart chambers.
Mitral valve prolapse can sometimes lead to blood leaking back through the valve leaflets into the left atrium. This condition is now called mitral valve insu fficiency or regurgitation. Additionally, mitral insufficiency can occur without prolapse. Stenosis of the mitral valve is a narrowing of the valve opening, which restricts blood flow through the valve. Prolapse, insufficiency and stenosis can occur separately or in combination with each other.
