“Hypertrophy is not normal. It can be mild or it can be severe, but it definitely needs to be further investigated,” says heart failure specialist Maria Mountis, DO. What is LV hypertrophy? LV hypertrophy is a normal physiologic response to pressure and volume overload. Like any muscle, the heart grows bigger when it is forced to pump harder.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

Left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH, is a term for a heart's left pumping chamber that has thickened and may not be pumping efficiently. Sometimes problems such as aortic stenosis or high blood pressure overwork the heart muscle.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I42 I42.
When the aortic or mitral valves are leaking, the left ventricle adapts to the increased volume load by getting larger. This results in cardiomegaly. If the aortic valve is narrow, this results in an obstruction to the left ventricle which develops hypertrophy and cardiomegaly.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle becomes thickened (hypertrophied). The thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood.
Other than age, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most potent predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in the hypertensive population, and is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, sudden death, heart failure and stroke.
Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) is an abnormal enlargement or pathologic increase in muscle mass of the right ventricle in response to pressure overload, most commonly due to severe lung disease.
How common is left ventricular hypertrophy? Left ventricular hypertrophy affects an estimated 15% to 20% of the population — nearly 1 in 5 people. You may have an increased risk of LVH if you have high blood pressure or have obesity, are elderly or Black.
Anatomical terminology. The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is an infundibular extension of the ventricular cavity that connects to the pulmonary artery. The left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), which connects to the aorta, is nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the ventricle.
Left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT VTI) is a measure of cardiac systolic function and cardiac output. Heart failure patients with low cardiac output are known to have poor cardiovascular outcomes. Thus, extremely low LVOT VTI may predict heart failure patients at highest risk for mortality.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 786.5 Code R07. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Chest Pain, Unspecified. Chest pain may be a symptom of a number of serious disorders and is, in general, considered a medical emergency.
A form of cardiac muscle disease, characterized by left and/or right ventricular hypertrophy (hypertrophy, left ventricular; hypertrophy, right ventricular), frequent asymmetrical involvement of the heart septum, and normal or reduced left ventricular volume. Risk factors include hypertension; aortic stenosis; and gene mutation; (familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I42.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Enlargement of the heart, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both heart ventricles or heart atria. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (heart failure) or several forms of cardiomyopathies.
Enlargement of the heart due to chamber hypertrophy, an increase in wall thickness without an increase in the number of cells (myocytes, cardiac). It is the result of increase in myocyte size, mitochondrial and myofibrillar mass, as well as changes in extracellular matrix.
