ICD-10-CM Code for Pericardial effusion (noninflammatory) I31. 3.
ICD-10 code I30. 9 for Acute pericarditis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10-CM Code for Cardiac tamponade I31. 4.
Summary. The pericardium is a membrane, or sac, that surrounds your heart. It holds the heart in place and helps it work properly. Problems with the pericardium include: Pericarditis - an inflammation of the sac.
3 - Pericardial effusion (noninflammatory)
A condition in which extra fluid collects between the heart and the pericardium (the sac around the heart). The extra fluid causes pressure on the heart. This keeps it from pumping blood normally.
A: Usually, pleural effusion is integral to congestive heart failure and isn't coded as a secondary diagnosis. But, if the physician documents that the pleural effusion is clinically significant and required monitoring and further evaluation, then it can be reported as a secondary diagnosis.
If pericardial effusion signs and symptoms do occur, they might include:Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing (dyspnea)Discomfort when breathing while lying down.Chest pain, usually behind the breastbone or on the left side of the chest.Chest fullness.Lightheadedness or feeling faint.More items...•
Drainage procedures or surgery to treat pericardial effusion may include: Fluid drainage (pericardiocentesis). A health care provider uses a needle to enter the pericardial space and then inserts a small tube (catheter) to drain the fluid. Imaging techniques, typically echocardiography, are used to guide the work.
The pericardium, also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. It has two layers, an outer layer made of strong connective tissue (fibrous pericardium), and an inner layer made of serous membrane (serous pericardium).
Pericardial effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the pericardium, the sac that holds your heart. When it happens quickly or involves a large amount of fluid, the excess fluid can take up too much space in the pericardium, compressing your heart and causing a life-threatening condition known as cardiac tamponade.
The cause of pericarditis is often unknown, though viral infections are a common reason. Pericarditis may occur after a respiratory or digestive system infection. Chronic and recurring pericarditis may be caused by autoimmune disorders such as lupus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis.

B33. 23 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The occurrence of perimyocarditis from a viral infection is secondary to direct cytotoxicity from the virus, impacting both the pericardium and myocardium. Within the subcategory of non-infectious causes, medications, immune-mediated diseases, and vaccine-associated myocarditis have been reported [1, 2].
Chronic pericarditis: Inflammation of the pericardium that lasts for three months or longer after the initial acute attack. Constrictive pericarditis: A severe form of pericarditis in which the inflamed layers of the pericardium stiffen, develop scar tissue, thicken and stick together.
