When a patient presents with CHF and cardiomyopathy, treatment is typically focused on managing CHF. Therefore, sequence a code from category 428, Heart failure, as the principal diagnosis with code 425.4 added as a secondary diagnosis (AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 1990, second quarter, page 19).
This type generally occurs in middle-aged people. When the cardiomyopathy is associated with alcoholism, assign code 425.5 for alcoholic cardiomyopathy. The most common type of dilated cardiomyopathy develops after a heart attack and is called ischemic cardiomyopathy (414.8).
Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (dilated cardiomyopathy; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; restrictive cardiomyopathy) or their etiological/pathological factors (cardiomyopathy, alcoholic; endocardial fibroelastosis). Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle.
I50. 9 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 I50. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. The various types of the disease have many causes, signs and symptoms as well as treatments. In most cases, cardiomyopathy causes the heart muscle to become enlarged, thick or rigid.
Family history of ischemic heart disease and otherICD-10 code Z82. 49 for Family history of ischemic heart disease and other diseases of the circulatory system is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Dilated cardiomyopathy, also sometimes referred to as dilated, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, is a type of heart muscle disease that causes the left ventricle of the heart to stretch abnormally. This prevents your heart from pumping blood effectively.
ICD-10 code I42. 8 for Other cardiomyopathies is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
R00. 2 Palpitations - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 150.9 : Malignant neoplasm of esophagus, unspecified site.
A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the cardiac muscle itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (dilated cardiomyopathy; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; restrictive cardiomyopathy) or their etiological/pathological factors (cardiomyopathy, alcoholic; endocardial fibroelastosis).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I42.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Condition in which there is a deviation from or interruption of the normal structure or function of the myocardium, the middle and thickest layer of the heart wall, composed of heart muscle.
There are three types of cardiomyopathy: • Dilated cardiomyopathy (ICD-9-CM code 425.4) is the most common type in which the left ventricle becomes enlarged and can no longer pump blood throughout the body. This type generally occurs in middle-aged people.
For The Record. Vol. 23 No. 10 P. 27. Cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease of the heart muscle with no known etiology. The condition makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Although it may develop secondarily to a disease elsewhere in the body, such as coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease, ...
Hypertropic cardiomyopathy may be treated with medications such as beta blockers and calcium channel blockers to slow the heart’s pumping action and stabilize heart rhythms. If medications don’t work, then one of the following procedures may be recommended: septal myectomy, septal ablation, pacemaker implantation, or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Dilated cardiomyopathy may be treated with the following medications: an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor to improve the heart’s pumping ability; an angiotensin receptor blocker; digoxin/digitalis to increase the strength of the heart muscle contractions and possibly slow the heartbeat; a diuretic to reduce fluid retention; or a beta blocker to improve cardiac function.
If the cardiomyopathy has progressed to end stage, the patient will need a heart transplant.
This type of cardiomyopathy usually affects older people. Physicians may use the term “congestive cardiomyopathy, ” which is also referred to as dilated cardiomyopathy and is characterized by ventricular dilation, contractile dysfunction, and symptoms of chronic heart failure (CHF).
After a thorough physical examination, the physician may perform the following diagnostic tests if cardiomyopathy is suspected: a chest x-ray to determine whether the heart is enlarged; an echocardiogram to view the size of the heart and the motion as it beats; an electrocardiogram to show disturbances in the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormal rhythms and areas of injury; cardiac MRI; cardiac catheterization to measure pressure within the heart chambers; or blood tests such as B-type natriuretic peptide, a protein produced in the heart that rises when the heart is subjected to the stress of CHF.
I42.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy, also known as chronotropic cardiomyopathy and tachycardiomyopathy, is an impairment of the pumping efficiency of the myocardium (the muscle of the heart) due to prolonged periods of a fast heart rate or irregular heart rhythm.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I42.9 and a single ICD9 code, 425.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Code I50.9 is the diagnosis code used for Heart Failure, Unspecified. It is a disorder characterized by the inability of the heart to pump blood at an adequate volume to meet tissue metabolic requirements. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (ventricular dysfunction), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity.
ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health problems) is now on its 10th revision. ICD-10 codes are the byproduct of that revision. This medical classification list is generated by the World Health Organization (WHO), and is used to help healthcare providers identify and code health conditions.
Many more new diagnoses can be tracked using ICD-10 than with ICD-9. Some expanded code sets, like ICD-10-CM, have over 70,000 codes.
