High blood pressure and a sense of fluttering in the chest can occur due to electrolyte imbalances or heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). These symptoms can also occur due to temporary conditions like stress reactions, anxiety, panic attack, or excessive caffeine use. Keep track of when these symptoms occur, and seek the advice of your doctor if you are concerned.
Heart failure is assumed to be due to hypertension when coded using I11. 0, “Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure.” In ICD-10, the word “with” presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by this term.

If the provider specifically documents a different cause for the heart condition unrelated to high blood pressure, then the HTN and heart condition should be coded separately and not linked via a combination code. In such cases, sequence according to the circumstances of the admission/encounter.

Hypertension secondary to endocrine disordersI15. 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 I15. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I15.
HYPERTENSION, SECONDARY Secondary hypertension is due to an underlying condition. Two codes are required: ❖ one to identify the underlying etiology ❖ one from category I15 to identify the hypertension. Sequencing of codes is determined by the reason for admission/encounter. HYPERTENSION, TRANSIENT Assign code R03.
If hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease are all documented, use a combination code from category I13 — hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease. These are just a few examples of conditions that have an assumed causal relationship in ICD-10-CM.

ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.
If hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease are all documented, use a combination code from category I13 — hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease. These are just a few examples of conditions that have an assumed causal relationship in ICD-10-CM.
