Diastolic heart failure: HFpEF is the acronym for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also called diastolic failure. When a patient suffers from diastolic heart failure, the muscle of the left ventricle has become stiff and won’t relax normally.
I50.3 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50.3 became effective on October 1, 2021.
AHA Coding Clinic® for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS has reconsidered the coding of terms HFpEF or HFrEF when documented by the provider. This is effective with March 18, 2016 discharges. These terms are more contemporary and being used more often. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (diastolic heart failure)

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in patients with current or prior symptoms of HF with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50 percent and evidence of cardiac dysfunction as a cause of symptoms (eg, abnormal LV filling and elevated filling pressures) [1-5].
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 even more extreme form of cardiovascular stiffening can be seen in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which comprises ∼40∼50% of elderly patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), also referred to as diastolic heart failure, is characterized by signs and symptoms of heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than 50%.

Prognosis is poor in both groups but 42% worse in HFrEF patients than HFpEF. Prognostic factors associated with outcome differs between HFrEF and HFpEF.
Pathophysiology. At a cellular level, cardiac myocytes in patients with HFpEF are thicker and shorter than normal myocytes, and collagen content is increased. Recent histologic studies have shown reductions in myocardial capillary density that may contribute.
In systolic CHF, the ventricles cannot produce enough pressure in the contraction phase to push blood into circulation. On the other hand, in diastolic CHF, the ventricles cannot relax, expand, or fill with enough blood. Combined CHF is a combination of the two.
Conclusion: While resting hemodynamics are similar in HFpEF and RCM, elevation of cardiac filling pressures are more reversible with vasodilation in HFpEF, suggesting that RCM is characterized by more advanced, load-independent diastolic dysfunction.
HFpEF is usually progressive due to complex mechanisms of systemic and cardiac adaptation that vary over time, particularly with aging.
In this part, the ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are presented. For FY2021 ICD-10-PCS there are 78,115 total codes (FY2020 total was 77,571); 556 new codes (734 new last year in FY2020)…
In June CMS released the final ICD-10-PCS codes for FY2022, which begins October 1, 2021. We are giving you a sneak peek at the changes. HIA will have a full educational module on these changes available later this summer.
In January, new CPT codes were released. There were 248 new CPT codes added, 71 deleted and 75 revised. Most of the surgery section changes were in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular subsections. These included procedures such as skin grafting, breast biopsies, deep drug delivery systems, tricuspid valve repairs, aortic grafts and repair of iliac artery.
Hypercoagulable states are blood disorders that increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis or embolic disease. The state is either inherited or acquired. About 80% of patients with blood clots have been found to have either an inherited or acquired clotting disorder. These blood clots can be lethal and some require life-long therapy. Hypercoagulable state is also known as thrombophilia.
This is Part 3 of a five part series on the new 2021 CPT codes. In this series we will explore the cardiovascular system CPT changes. There are 5 new cardiovascular CPT codes added with 0 deletions and 4 revisions.
Per the medical record notes this patient presented due to CHF exacerbation. It was noted she had not taken her Lasix for two weeks. The discharge summary notes CHF exacerbation due to MR due to dehiscence and leaking of prosthetic mitral valve. The patient already has a scheduled appointment for her surgery for the mitral valve prosthetic repair.
Assign the acute exacerbation of CHF (HFpEF) code I50.33, Acute on chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure as the principal diagnosis in this case. The surgery date was already set and not performed on this admission. The patient ran out of Lasix and did not go to the pharmacy to get it (noncompliance).
