What you can expect
Differential Diagnosis. The heart murmur of aortic regurgitation must be differentiated from that of other valvular diseases. Acute aortic regurgitation (AR) is characterized by the presence of a low pitched early diastolic murmur that is best heard at the right 2nd intercostal space, decreased or absent S1, and increased P2.
Another valvular heart disease condition, called valvular insufficiency (or regurgitation, incompetence, "leaky valve"), occurs when the leaflets do not close completely, letting blood leak backward across the valve. This backward flow is referred to as “regurgitant flow.”

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR)
Tricuspid valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the two right heart chambers (right ventricle and right atrium) doesn't close properly. As a result, blood leaks backward into the upper right chamber (right atrium).
I01. 1 - Acute rheumatic endocarditis | ICD-10-CM.
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
There is only one code, I34. 1 Nonrheumatic mitral (valve) prolapse. 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 insufficiency or regurgitation.
Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorder, unspecified I34. 9 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 I34. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Overview. Mitral valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the left heart chambers doesn't close completely, allowing blood to leak backward across the valve. It is the most common type of heart valve disease (valvular heart disease).
