ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I50.2 Systolic (congestive) heart failure end stage heart failure, if applicable (I50.84); combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.4-); Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]; Systolic left ventricular heart failure ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I50.4
Nearly half of patients with symptoms of heart failure are found to have a normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. This has variously been labelled as diastolic heart failure, heart failure with preserved LV function or heart failure with a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF).
Systolic (congestive) heart failure end stage heart failure, if applicable (I50.84); combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure (I50.4-); Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
According to new research, patients with a low ejection fraction can recover, and this is referred to as “recovered EF.” We have been instructed to assign code I50.3-, Diastolic (congestive) heart failure, for patients with CHF and a recovered EF.
Heart failure in patients with a normal ejection fraction is generally referred to as heart failure caused by LV diastolic dysfunction (ie, diastolic failure). Such a clinical definition of diastolic failure requires (1) the presence of signs and symptoms of heart failure and (2) a normal LV ejection fraction.

The heart can't pump with enough force to push enough blood into circulation. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), also called diastolic failure (or diastolic dysfunction): The left ventricle loses its ability to relax normally (because the muscle has become stiff).
A low ejection fraction lets a doctor know that the active pumping phase of the heart isn't working. It's usually tied to some, but not all, types of heart failure. Heart failure with a low EF is called "systolic" heart failure.
Coding Clinic 2020 Third Quarter, p. 32, advises to code chronic systolic heart failure for patients with heart failure described with reduced, mildly reduced, or mid-range ejection fraction. This makes perfect sense because systolic failure is recognized as EF < 50%.
ICD-10-CM Code for Systolic (congestive) heart failure I50. 2.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF): More than diastolic dysfunction. Nearly half of all patients with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction (EF).
Heart failure is also classified as either diastolic or systolic.Left-sided heart failure. Left-sided heart failure is the most common type of heart failure. ... Right-sided heart failure. ... Diastolic heart failure. ... Systolic heart failure.
INTRODUCTION Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in which patients have signs and symptoms of HF as the result of high left ventricular (LV) filling pressure despite normal or near normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF; ≥50 percent) [1-5].
An E/e' ratio < 8 is considered to be normal, and a ratio > 15 is considered to reflect an increase in the LV filling pressure [11-13]. In patients with normal EF, tissue Doppler echocardiography has been used to evaluate LV filling pressure and LV stiffness [11].
An ejection fraction of 50 percent to 65 percent is considered normal.
HF can be classified into three groups based on the percentage of the ejection fraction (EF): heart failure with reduced EF (HFrEF), heart failure with mid-range—also called mildly reduced EF— (HFmrEF), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
