Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart. In one form of pulmonary hypertension, called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, blocked or destroyed.
Pulmonary blood pressure is normally a lot lower than systemic blood pressure. Normal pulmonary artery pressure is 8-20 mm Hg at rest. If the pressure in the pulmonary artery is greater than 25 mm Hg at rest or 30 mmHg during physical activity, it is abnormally high and is called pulmonary hypertension.

Pulmonary hypertension is diagnosed primarily with an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound examination of the heart. The echocardiogram measures the heart's size and shape by using sound waves to create an image of the heart and can estimate the pulmonary artery pressure.

ICD-10 code I27. 20 for Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Pulmonary hypertension happens when the pressure in the blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs is too high. With pulmonary hypertension, the blood vessels to the lungs develop an increased amount of muscle in the wall of the blood vessels.
So, is there a reason to discuss PH other than PAH? Chronic lung diseases, mainly chronic obstructive lung disease and DPLD, are associated with a high incidence of PH which is linked to exercise limitations and a worse prognosis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) ≥25 mm Hg measured by right heart catheterization. However, the upper limit of a normal mean PAP is 20 mm Hg. There is a gap between the upper limit of normal and the threshold for diagnosing PH.
Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is high blood pressure in the lungs. It's a rare lung disorder in which the blood vessels in the lungs narrow and the pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels.
Group 2: Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease: The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension is left heart disease. ICD-10-CM code I27. 22 (pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease) is reported for this type.
ICD-10 code I27. 21 for Secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Group 1: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) WHO Group 1 refers to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is caused when the arteries in the lungs become narrowed, thickened or stiff. The right side of the heart must work harder to push blood through these narrowed arteries.
Increased blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs; the etiology is unknown.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I27.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Other secondary pulmonary hypertension 1 I27.2 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM I27.2 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I27.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 I27.2 may differ.
Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries to your lungs. It is a serious condition for which there are treatments but no cure. If you have it, the blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood from your heart to your lungs become hard and narrow. Your heart has to work harder to pump the blood through. Over time, your heart weakens and cannot do its job and you can develop heart failure. There are two main kinds of pulmonary hypertension. One runs in families or appears for no known reason. The other kind is related to another condition, usually heart or lung disease. Treating pulmonary hypertension involves treating the heart or lung disease, medicines, oxygen and sometimes lung transplantation.
I27.2 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 P29.30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
P29.30 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record. "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are considered POA.
