Mitral valve prolapse rarely becomes a serious condition. However, in the most serious cases it can cause abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias) that eventually may become life-threatening and lead to a heart attack or stroke. In some instances, patients may need to have a valve repair or even replacement.
Oct. 27, 2004 (Seattle) — Patients who are in sinus rhythm after mitral valve repair are not at risk for stroke and therefore do not require the standard three-month course of warfarin (Coumadin ...
The consensus is that mitral valve prolapse is a non-preventable condition, although some of its complications may occur. Because symptoms rarely appear, the productivity of the patient's life is not affected.
Mitral valve endocarditis (MVE) is defined as an infection of the entirety or portion of one or both mitral valve leaflets. It can be caused by different pathogens, but bacterial origin is the most common.
ICD-10-CM Code for Acute and subacute infective endocarditis I33. 0.
I33. 0 - Acute and subacute infective endocarditis. ICD-10-CM.
Background. Infective endocarditis rarely causes mitral valve stenosis. When present, it has the potential to cause severe hemodynamic decompensation and death. There are only 15 reported cases in the literature of mitral prosthetic valve bacterial endocarditis causing stenosis by obstruction.
I38 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 I38 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The infection on the valve can cause build up of nodules on the valves called "vegetations". These valve vegetations can be detected by echocardiography (an ultrasound examination of the heart).
Infective endocarditis, also called bacterial endocarditis, is an infection caused by bacteria that enter the bloodstream and settle in the heart lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel. IE is uncommon, but people with some heart conditions have a greater risk of developing it.
Infective endocarditis can be either acute or subacute. Acute infective endocarditis can develop suddenly and become life-threatening within days. Subacute infective endocarditis develops slowly over a period of several weeks to several months.
ICD-10-CM Code for Nonrheumatic mitral (valve) insufficiency I34. 0.
Endocarditis is usually caused by an infection. Bacteria, fungi or other germs get into the bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in the heart. Things that make you more likely to get endocarditis are artificial heart valves, damaged heart valves or other heart defects.
Acute mitral regurgitation may be caused by dysfunction or injury to the valve following a heart attack or infection of the heart valve (infective endocarditis). These conditions may rupture the valve or surrounding structures, leaving an opening for blood to move backwards.
The most common cause of mitral stenosis is rheumatic fever — a complication of strep throat. This infection can scar the mitral valve, causing it to narrow.
The ICD code I33 is used to code Infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis is a form of endocarditis. It is an inflammation of the inner tissues of the heart, the endocardium (such as its valves). It is caused by infectious agents, or pathogens, which are usually bacterial but other organisms can also be responsible.
I33. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code I33 is a non-billable code.
Before the age of modern antibiotics it was almost universally fatal. A mitral valve vegetation caused by bacterial endocarditis.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I38 and a single ICD9 code, 424.99 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
