Long Description: Primary pulmonary hypertension. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 416.0. Code Classification. Diseases of the circulatory system (390–459) Diseases of pulmonary circulation (415-417) 416 Chronic pulmonary heart disease.
Associated ICD-10-CM Code: I27.24 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension Group 5: As its associated ICD-10 code suggests, this is a catch-all category of PH caused by other conditions. In this group, however, the causal connection between the conditions is not well understood.
Pulmonary hypertension is a high blood pressure condition that affects the arteries in the lung and the heart. This is caused by arteries that become narrowed or blocked and makes it difficult for blood to flow freely through, which raises your blood pressure.
This excludes pulmonary hypertension NOS (416.8) and secondary pulmonary hypertension (416.8). This applies to idiopathic pulmonary arteriosclerosis and pulmonary hypertension (essential) (idiopathic) (primary). Pulmonary hypertension is a high blood pressure condition that affects the arteries in the lung and the heart.
There is no code within the ICD-10-CM code set for diastolic dysfunction. When you look up dysfunction, heart in the alphabetic index it leads to I51. 89 Other ill-defined heart disease and likely the use of the diastolic heart failure code applied to documentation of the term dysfunction would be denied.

When heart failure is accompanied by a predominant or isolated abnormality in diastolic function, this clinical syndrome is called diastolic heart failure. Diastolic dysfunction refers to a condition in which abnormalities in mechanical function are present during diastole.
ICD-9-CM codes included 416.0 (primary pulmonary hypertension), 416.8 (other chronic pulmonary heart diseases), and 416.9 (chronic pulmonary heart disease, unspecified).
Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction is sometimes referred to as diastolic failure or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). People with Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction have evidence of abnormal diastolic function and may or may not have symptoms.
When the muscles of the heart become stiff, they can't relax properly, creating a condition known as diastolic dysfunction. This inflexibility prevents the heart's ventricles from filling completely, causing blood to back up in the organs.
Congestive heart failure due to diastolic dysfunction is a common clinical entity, particularly in the elderly. As outlined, such patients fall into a larger group of all patients with CHF symptoms and normal systolic function.
HYPERTENSION. Chronic hypertension is the most common cause of diastolic dysfunction and failure. It leads to left ventricular hypertrophy and increased connective tissue content, both of which decrease cardiac compliance.
According to the current guidelines (DD2016) and for patients with preserved ejection fraction, one should evaluate four variables to assess diastolic dysfunction: e′, E/e′ ratio, LAVI, and TRpV.
Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified I27. 20 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 I27. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.

I27. 0 (primary pulmonary hypertension) and I27. 21 (secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension).
Clinical manifestations of congestive heart failure may start to occur once grade II diastolic dysfunction is present, but not in the presence of grade I diastolic dysfunction (impaired relaxation).
When your heart isn't able to relax fast enough, it's called diastolic dysfunction (DD). DD is dangerous and is believed to be associated with congestive heart failure symptoms in patients who have what's called preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, according to cardiologist Wael Jaber, MD.
Conclusions: Our study results indicate that diastolic dysfunction with a normal EF, in the absence of CAD and systolic dysfunction, has an excellent prognosis over a long period (5-6 years).
Diastolic dysfunction was graded on a four-point ordinal scale: 1) normal; 2) mild diastolic dysfunction = abnormal relaxation without increased LV end-diastolic filling pressure (decreased E/A ratio <0.75); 3) moderate or “pseudonormal” diastolic dysfunction = abnormal relaxation with increased LV end-diastolic ...
Pulmonary hypertension is also known as primary pulmonary HTN, PRIMARY PULMONARY HYPERTENSION, and pulmonary HTN primary. This excludes pulmonary hypertension NOS (416.8) and secondary pulmonary hypertension (416.8). This applies to idiopathic pulmonary arteriosclerosis and pulmonary hypertension (essential) (idiopathic) (primary).
Pulmonary hypertension is a high blood pressure condition that affects the arteries in the lung and the heart. This is caused by arteries that become narrowed or blocked and makes it difficult for blood to flow freely through, which raises your blood pressure.
416.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of primary pulmonary hypertension. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
7th Characters - Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
Other risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, female gender, coronary artery disease and obstructive sleep apnea. Because of the high prevalence of diastolic heart failure, we now see many patients that have both diastolic heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. This is sometimes referred to as pulmonary hypertension out ...
Initially the pulmonary artery pressure rises due to passive congestion or high pressures from the left side of the heart. However, over time, chronically elevated left sided pressures can lead to structural changes in the pulmonary arteries that are indistinguishable from PAH. At this time, the right heart catheterization will show high pulmonary artery pressures and high pulmonary capillary wedge pressures and an elevated pulmonary vascular resistance.
Diastolic heart failure is now the most common type of left heart failure. This is due to the rising incidence of obesity and an aging population. Other risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, female gender, coronary artery disease and obstructive sleep apnea. Because of the high prevalence of diastolic heart failure, we now see many patients that have both diastolic heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. This is sometimes referred to as pulmonary hypertension out of proportion to the diastolic heart failure.
The echo may not always show diastolic dysfunction even when it is present. The right heart catheterization findings that support diastolic heart failure are an elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure with preserved squeeze of the left ventricle.
This is reinforced by ICD-10 guideline I.C.9.a.11, which tells you to “code any associated conditions or adverse effects of drugs or toxins for any of the secondary pulmonary hypertension codes (I12.1, I27.-). ”#N#Importantly, you will also need to sequence the codes “based on the reason for the encounter, except for adverse effects of drugs,” per the guidelines. So, for example, if during an encounter with a patient regarding problems associated with rheumatoid arthritis your provider also discusses the patient’s shortness of breath, associated with the secondary PH and caused by the rheumatoid arthritis, you would sequence M05.- Rheumatoid arthritis first, followed by I27.21.#N#Know the I27 Excludes1 notes#N#Fortunately, these are few and, like all Excludes1 notes, they only apply “when two conditions cannot occur together.” Under I27.0, for example, you cannot code for certain secondary PH conditions or for P29.30 Pulmonary hypertension of newborn. And under I27.2-, you cannot code for I27.83 Eisenmenger’s syndrome, a congenital heart defect where a hole between two heart chambers creates abnormal blood flow between the heart and lungs, eventually thickening the lungs’ arteries and creating PH.
Know What PH Is. The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) defines PH as “a general term used to describe high blood pressure in the lungs from any cause.”. The high blood pressure thickens the lung’s arteries, causing the right side of the heart to work harder than normal to keep blood pumping into the lungs.
And under I27.2-, you cannot code for I27.83 Eisenmenger’s syndrome, a congenital heart defect where a hole between two heart chambers creates abnormal blood flow between the heart and lungs, eventually thickening the lungs’ arteries and creating PH. Author.
