Information for Patients
Pulmonary hypertension
Chronic pulmonary heart disease happens when the right ventricle has to work too hard to pump blood to lungs that have been damaged. The lungs may have been damaged by a condition like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), blood clots in the lung, or sleep apnea.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension I27. 24 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Chronic cor pulmonale is defined as right heart hypertrophy and/or chronic right heart failure. There are many etiologies, but the common cause is increased right heart work from pulmonary hypertension.
ICD-10-CM Code for Cor pulmonale (chronic) I27. 81.
ICD-10-CM Code for Chronic respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia J96. 10.
Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the blood vessels that supply the lungs (pulmonary arteries). It's a serious condition that can damage the right side of the heart. The walls of the pulmonary arteries become thick and stiff, and cannot expand as well to allow blood through.
Congestive heart failure can be unilateral or bilateral, acute or chronic. The term 'Cor Pulmonale' relates to pulmonary cardiovascular disease and relates to right sided heart failure secondary to (usually chronic) pulmonary artery hypertension.
In the case of primary pulmonary hypertension, this is due to disease of the pulmonary vasculature while cor pulmonale is related to diseases of the pulmonary vasculature, airways, or interstitium.
Right-sided heart failure is also known as cor pulmonale or pulmonary heart disease.
Definition. Cor pulmonale is a condition that causes the right side of the heart to fail. Long-term high blood pressure in the arteries of the lung and right ventricle of the heart can lead to cor pulmonale.
Acute cor pulmonale is a form of acute right heart failure produced by a sudden increase in resistance to blood flow in the pulmonary circulation, which is now rapidly recognized by bedside echocardiography.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is the most common cause of cor pulmonale. It is often caused by smoking or being exposed to smoky or poorly ventilated environments. Its symptoms include wheezing, chest pain, trouble breathing, respiratory infections, lethargy, weight loss, and swelling of the lower limbs.
A chronic and progressive lung disorder characterized by the loss of elasticity of the bronchial tree and the air sacs, destruction of the air sacs wall, thickening of the bronchial wall, and mucous accumulation in the bronchial tree.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, productive cough, and chest tightness. The two main types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema. A disease of chronic diffuse irreversible airflow obstruction. Subcategories of copd include chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema.
A type of lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi (large air passages) are inflamed and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are damaged.
