Congenital heart block 1 Q24.6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Q24.6 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q24.6 - other international versions of ICD-10 Q24.6 may differ.
Atrioventricular block, complete Short description: Atriovent block complete. ICD-9-CM 426.0 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 426.0 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
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.
2.
Third-degree AV block indicates a complete loss of communication between the atria and the ventricles. Without appropriate conduction through the AV node, the SA node cannot act to control the heart rate, and cardiac output can be diminished secondary to loss of coordination of the atria and the ventricles.

I44. 2 - Atrioventricular block, complete | ICD-10-CM.
Third Degree Heart Block is also known as Complete Heart Block. Nurses, physicians and paramedics are faced with this type of cardiac rhythm in critically ill patients. An EKG can confirm this rhythm and fast treatment is required in order for the survival of the patient.
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.
I45. 5 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 I45.
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.
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.
426.12 - Mobitz (type) II atrioventricular block.
1 Atrioventricular block, second degree.
I63. 9 - Cerebral infarction, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Impaired impulse conduction from heart atria to heart ventricles. Av block can mean delayed or completely blocked impulse conduction.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I44.30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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 .
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.
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:#N#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. Patients are generally asymptomatic and the first-degree AV block is usually an incidental finding on electrocardiography (ECG). People with newly diagnosed first-degree AV block may be well-conditioned athletes, or they may have a history of myocardial infarction or myocarditis. First-degree AV block also may represent the first sign of degenerative processes of the AV conduction system.#N#Second degree AV block (I44.1 Atrioventricular block, second degree) – Atrial impulses fail to conduct to the ventricles. Patients may be asymptomatic, but may experience pre-syncope or syncope and sensed irregular heartbeats. The latter usually is observed in more advanced conduction disturbances, such as Mobitz II second-degree AV block. A history of medications that affect atrioventricular node (AVN) function (e.g., digitalis, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers) may be contributory and should be obtained. Other terms for a second degree AV block are Wenckebach’s and Mobitz blocks.#N#Third degree AV block (I44.2 Atrioventricular block, complete) – No supraventricular impulses are conducted to the ventricles. Patients have symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, light-headedness, pre-syncope, or syncope. Syncopal episodes due to slow heart rates are called Morgagni-Adams-Stokes (MAS) episodes, in recognition of the pioneering work of these researchers on syncope. Patients with third-degree AV block may have associated symptoms of acute myocardial infarction either causing the block or related to reduced cardiac output from bradycardia in the setting of advanced atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.#N#Proper coding of AV block requires documentation of severity:
PROCEDURE: Insertion of right atrial and right ventricular transvenous leads through the left subclavian vein and implantation of a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker.
