Coding for Cardiomyopathy in ICD-10-CM I42. 9, Cardiomyopathy, unspecified (includes cardiomyopathy [primary] [secondary] NOS).
Cardiomyopathy (kahr-dee-o-my-OP-uh-thee) is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
The main types of cardiomyopathy are:Dilated cardiomyopathy.Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Restrictive cardiomyopathy.Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

Myo- enters into many words and terms in medicine including cardiomyopathy, dermatomyositis, electromyography, leiomyoma, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, myocardium, myoclonic, myocyte, myopathy, myoglobin, myometrium, myotonia, myotonic dystrophy, and polymyositis.
In congestive cardiomyopathy, also called dilated cardiomyopathy, the heart becomes stretched and weakened and is unable to pump effectively. Heart failure occurs when the heart does not pump strongly enough to meet the needs of the body.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is thought to be the most common inherited or genetic heart disease. While this type of cardiomyopathy occurs at many ages, in children and young adults with this condition there may be no symptoms, yet they are at high risk of sudden cardiac death.
Signs and symptoms of cardiomyopathy include:Shortness of breath or trouble breathing, especially with physical exertion.Fatigue.Swelling in the ankles, feet, legs, abdomen and veins in the neck.Dizziness.Lightheadedness.Fainting during physical activity.Arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats)More items...•
The most common types of cardiomyopathy are: Dilated cardiomyopathy: Your heart's blood-pumping chambers enlarge (dilate). Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Your heart muscle thickens.
Hence, most of the coder are using unspecified code I42. 9, for nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
Dilated cardiomyopathy, also sometimes referred to as dilated, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, is a type of heart muscle disease that causes the left ventricle of the heart to stretch abnormally. This prevents your heart from pumping blood effectively.
