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. Patients are generally asymptomatic and the first-degree AV block is usually an incidental finding on electrocardiography (ECG).
First-degree atrioventricular block (AV block), or PR prolongation, is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart in which the PR interval is lengthened beyond 0.20 seconds. DRG Group #308-310 - Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with MCC.
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. PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Symptomatic 3rd-degree (complete) atrioventricular block.
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.
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.
First-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, or first-degree heart block, is defined as prolongation of the PR interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG) to more than 200 msec.
426.12 - Mobitz (type) II atrioventricular block.
Third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, also referred to as third-degree heart block or complete heart block (CHB), is an abnormal heart rhythm resulting from a defect in the cardiac conduction system in which there is no conduction through the atrioventricular node (AVN), leading to complete dissociation of the ...
There are two non-distinct types of second-degree AV block, called Type 1 and Type 2. In both types, a P wave is blocked from initiating a QRS complex; but, in Type 1, there are increasing delays in each cycle before the omission, whereas, in Type 2, there is no such pattern.
First-degree AV block is a form of atrioventricular block that is quite common and is also usually benign. The manifestation of this disorder involves a prolonged P-R interval > 200 msec. In this situation, all of the sinus impulses conduct to the AV node.
Third degree AV block (I44. 2 Atrioventricular block, complete) – No supraventricular impulses are conducted to the ventricles.

There are three types, or degrees, of AV block: (1) first-degree, (2) second-degree, and (3) third-degree, with third-degree being the most severe. An ECG is used to differentiate between the different types of AV blocks.
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:

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 426.11 was previously used, I44.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
