Study Notes
Heart Anatomy and Circulation
- The heart is a fist-sized, cone-shaped muscle located between the lungs and behind the sternum.
- Systemic circulation describes the movement of blood through the tissues of the heart.
Cardiac Conditions and Terminology
- A rapid heartbeat is referred to as tachycardia.
- Semilunar valves consist of the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve.
Coding in Cardiovascular Health
- Codes for the cardiovascular system can be found in the CPT® under various sections related to surgical procedures and diagnostic tests.
- Aortic valve stenosis is reported with the ICD-10-CM code I35.0.
- An acute anteroapical wall infarction is reported with the ICD-10-CM code I21.09.
Renal Failure and Heart Conditions
- Chronic renal failure with hypertension and end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis is reported with ICD-10-CM codes N18.6 and I12.9.
Types of Congestive Heart Failure
- Diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) can be categorized as either systolic or diastolic, depending on the heart's ability to contract or fill properly.
Cardiac Rhythm Disorders
- A Mobitz type I AV block after a syncopal episode is reported with the ICD-10-CM code I44.1.
Surgical Procedures and CPT Codes
- For a patient undergoing 3 venous and 2 arterial coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) with endoscopic vein harvesting, specific CPT codes for coronary artery bypass are utilized.
- Removal and replacement of a permanent dual chamber transvenous pacemaker system requires designated CPT codes for implantation and device management.
- Mitral valve ring insertion with cardiopulmonary bypass is reported using the appropriate CPT code for valvuloplasty.
Imaging and Catheterization Procedures
- A catheter advanced from the left femoral artery into the aorta for imaging both the left and right renal arteries requires specific procedural CPT codes.
- Placement of a 5-French pigtail catheter in the abdominal aorta that includes imaging of the iliofemoral circulation involves dedicated CPT codes for catheterization and imaging studies.
- Advanced catheterization into both the left and right renal artery along with the superior mesenteric artery for imaging necessitates appropriate CPT series for diagnostic imaging.
