When the left ventricle stops working efficiently:
There are other left-sided heart failure complications, as described in the following list:
The three common types are:
To begin, heart failure can develop from either side of the heart, distinguished as left heart failure (LHF) and right heart failure (RHF), all depending on the location of the injury and pre-existing comorbidities. For instance, if the left side of the heart is sufficiently injured, left heart failure will likely develop, and so on.
Heart failure is assumed to be due to hypertension when coded using I11. 0, “Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure.” In ICD-10, the word “with” presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by this term.
If the provider specifically documents a different cause for the heart condition unrelated to high blood pressure, then the HTN and heart condition should be coded separately and not linked via a combination code. In such cases, sequence according to the circumstances of the admission/encounter.
I50. 1 - Left ventricular failure, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.
I13. 0 - Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure and stage 1 through stage 4 chronic kidney disease, or unspecified chronic kidney disease. ICD-10-CM.
Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure that is present over a long time. Hypertension is a disorder characterized by consistently high blood pressure.
9 – Heart Failure, Unspecified. Code I50. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Heart Failure, Unspecified.
Left-sided heart failure occurs when the heart loses its ability to pump blood. This prevents organs from receiving enough oxygen. The condition can lead to complications that include right-sided heart failure and organ damage.
High blood pressure makes your heart work harder than normal. The extra work it takes to pump blood can cause the muscle in the left ventricle walls to get larger and thicker. Intense athletic training can sometimes lead to an increase in the size and thickness of the left ventricle walls.
In ICD-10, the diagnosis codes are simplified and the hypertension table is no longer necessary.
Although various sources define hypertension slightly differently, the provider should document elevated systolic pressure above 140 or diastolic pressure above 90 with at least two readings on separate office visits.

The code for essential (primary) hypertension, I10, does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension. heart disease: I11. 0 (with heart failure) and I11. 9 (without heart failure).
ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.
Hypertension described as benign, malignant, controlled, uncontrolled, and primary would be coded here unless it belongs in another category code. A condition of elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension is classified to code R03.
Hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders I15. 2 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 I15. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
