Atrioventricular (AV) block involves impairment of the conduction between the atria and ventricles of the heart. In ICD-10-CM the codes are categorized by degree: First degree AV block (I44.0 Atrioventricular block, first degree) – All atrial impulses reach the ventricles, but the conduction is delayed within the AV node.
The ICD code I440 is used to code First-degree atrioventricular block. First-degree atrioventricular block (AV block), or PR prolongation, is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart in which the PR interval is lengthened beyond 0.20 seconds.
Third degree block The use of ICD-10 code I44.2can also apply to: Lenegre's disease Lev's disease or syndrome (acquired complete heart block) Rytand-Lipsitch syndrome MS-DRG- Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group MDC 05Diseases & Disorders of the Circulatory System Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders
Other terms for a second degree AV block are Wenckebach’s and Mobitz blocks. Third degree AV block (I44.2 Atrioventricular block, complete) – No supraventricular impulses are conducted to the ventricles.
Third degree AV block (I44. 2 Atrioventricular block, complete) – No supraventricular impulses are conducted to the ventricles.
First-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is a condition of abnormally slow conduction through the AV node. It is defined by ECG changes that include a PR interval of greater than 0.20 without disruption of atrial to ventricular conduction. This condition is generally asymptomatic and discovered only on routine ECG.
High-grade AV block, also known as advanced heart block, is a form of third-degree heart block. This occurs when AV dissociation is present; however, intermittently some sinus node action potentials (P waves) are randomly conducted to the ventricles.
426.12 - Mobitz (type) II atrioventricular block.
If patients with 1st or 2nd degree AV block are symptomatic, they may describe palpitations, an irregular heartbeat or the feeling of “missing a beat.” However, patients with type II second degree block or 3rd degree often experience lightheadedness, syncope, angina, shortness of breath, palpitations, and fatigue.
There are two non-distinct types of second-degree AV block, called Type 1 and Type 2. In both types, a P wave is blocked from initiating a QRS complex; but, in Type 1, there are increasing delays in each cycle before the omission, whereas, in Type 2, there is no such pattern.
I44. 2 - Atrioventricular block, complete | ICD-10-CM.
Complete heart block occurs when the electrical signal can't pass normally from the atria, the heart's upper chambers, to the ventricles, or lower chambers. If the atrioventricular (AV) node is damaged during surgery, complete heart block may result. Sometimes complete heart block occurs spontaneously without surgery.
Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, or second-degree heart block, is a disease of the cardiac conduction system in which the conduction of atrial impulse through the AV node and/or His bundle is delayed or blocked.

Paroxysmal AV block is characterized by a sudden loss of AV conduction following a premature atrial or ventricular complex-induced pause. Paroxysmal AV block occurs within a diseased His-Purkinje system and is associated with syncope and sudden cardiac death. Permanent pacing is required.
Chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50. 32 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I50.
First-degree atrioventricular block (AV block), or PR prolongation, is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart in which the PR interval is lengthened beyond 0.20 seconds.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 426.11 was previously used, I44.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
I44.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Atrioventricular block, complete . 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.
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. 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: Block, blocked.
