The ICD code I313 is used to code Pericardial effusion. Pericardial effusion ("fluid around the heart") is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. Because of the limited amount of space in the pericardial cavity, fluid accumulation leads to an increased intrapericardial pressure which can negatively affect heart function.
I31.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pericardial effusion (noninflammatory). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Pericardial effusion ("fluid around the heart") is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity.
Pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. Pericardial effusion is the acute or chronic accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space (between the parietal and the visceral pericardium) and is often associated with a variety of underlying disorders. The fluid can be either bloody (e.g., following aortic dissection) or serous (usually idiopathic).

Overview. Pericardial effusion (per-e-KAHR-dee-ul uh-FU-zhun) is the buildup of too much fluid in the double-layered, saclike structure around the heart (pericardium). The space between these layers typically contains a thin layer of fluid.
ICD-10-CM Code for Cardiac tamponade I31. 4.
ICD-10 code: I31. 3 Pericardial effusion (noninflammatory)
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.
(PAYR-ih-KAR-dee-ul eh-FYOO-zhun) 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. Lymph vessels may also be blocked, which can cause infection.
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.
3 - Pericardial effusion (noninflammatory)
(KAR-dee-ak tam-puh-NAYD) A serious condition that occurs when extra fluid or blood builds up in the space between the heart and the pericardium (the sac around the heart). The extra fluid causes pressure on the heart, which keeps it from pumping enough blood to the rest the body.
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.
When larger amounts of fluid accumulate (pericardial effusion) or when the pericardium becomes scarred and inelastic, one of three pericardial compressive syndromes may occur: Cardiac tamponade – Cardiac tamponade, which may be acute or subacute, is characterized by the accumulation of pericardial fluid under pressure.
Cardiac tamponade — which is sometimes called pericardial tamponade — happens when the pericardium fills with fluid (especially blood). Because the fluid has nowhere to go, your heart runs out of room and can't expand enough to fill effectively.
Pericarditis can be divided into non-constructive and constrictive pericarditis. Pericarditis is commonly associated with pericardial effusion that can sometimes worsen to cardiac tamponade. Cardiac tamponade is a grave condition that happens after sudden and/or excessive accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of the malignant pericardial effusion. Trauma: Blunt, penetrating, and iatrogenic injury to the myocardium, aorta, or coronary vessels can lead to the accumulation of blood within the pericardial sac.
What are the symptoms of cardiac tamponade?Chest pain or discomfort.Shortness of breath.Fast breathing.Increased heart rate.Enlargement of the veins of the neck.Fainting or lightheadedness.Swelling in the arms and legs.Pain in the right upper abdomen.More items...
The causes of pericardial penetration or fluid accumulation might include: gunshot or stab wounds. blunt trauma to the chest from a car or industrial accident. accidental perforation after cardiac catheterization, angiography, or insertion of a pacemaker.
If the tissue layers become inflamed, they rub against the heart and cause chest pain. If extra fluid builds up between the tissue layers, it's called pericardial effusion. Pericarditis is usually mild. It often goes away on its own or with rest and basic treatment.
I31.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pericardial effusion (noninflammatory). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Pericardial effusion ("fluid around the heart") is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. Because of the limited amount of space in the pericardial cavity, fluid accumulation leads to an increased intrapericardial pressure which can negatively affect heart function.
Compression of the heart by accumulated fluid (pericardial effusion) or blood (hemopericardium) in the pericardium surrounding the heart. The affected cardiac functions and cardiac output can range from minimal to total hemodynamic collapse.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I31.4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Acute compression of the heart caused by increased intrapericardial pressure due to the collection of blood or fluid in the pericardium from rupture of the heart, penetrating trauma, or progressive effusion.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as I31.2. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces. It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself.
