3 Rheumatic Heart Disease Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which permanent damage to heart valves is caused by rheumatic fever. The heart valve is damaged by a disease process that generally begins with a strep throat caused by bacteria called Streptococcus, and may eventually cause rheumatic fever. All Rights Reserved 5 Rheumatic Heart Disease I-10-CM presumes certain Mitral Valve disorders of unspecified etiology are rheumatic in origin.

8 Ischemic Heart Disease Ischemic heart disease is also known as coronary artery disease or "hardening of the arteries. Cholesterol plaque can build up in the arteries of the heart and cause "ischemia," which means the heart is not getting enough blood flow and oxygen. If the plaque blocks an artery, a heart attack can result. Up to 90 percent of heart attacks are due to: smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, abdominal obesity ("spare tire", "muffin top ), not eating enough fruits and vegetables, lack of exercise, drinking too much alcohol, and stress. All Rights Reserved 15 Angina Pectoris Commonly known and angina, angina pectoris chest pain is due to ischemia of the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries. The main cause of angina pectoris is coronary artery disease, due to atherosclerosis of the arteries feeding the heart. All Rights Reserved 16 8

9 Ischemic Heart Disease Use additional code to identify presence of hypertension (I10-I16) Use additional code to identify tobacco exposure/use I20: Angina pectoris TYPE 1 (STEMI) Myocardial Infarction of anterior wall I21: ST elevation (STEMI) and non-st elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction I21.0 Anterior wall: Left main, left anterior descending, other coronary artery I21.1 Inferior wall: Right coronary artery, other coronary artery I21.2 Other sites: Left circumflex, other sites I21.3 Unspecified site I21.4 Non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) All Rights Reserved 17 Myocardial Infarction Quick Reference to Types 1-5 Type 1 MI is spontaneous myocardial necrosis caused by an anatomic blockage of blood flow for a prolonged period of time. Mechanical coronary artery obstruction usually occurs due to plaque rupture or thrombotic occlusion. Type 2 MI is also cell death, but is secondary to ischemia on the basis of supply-demand mismatch, i.e., an imbalance between oxygen demand and supply (e.g., coronary spasm, anemia or hypotension). Type 2 MI is always caused by underlying condition or disease process. Type 3 is MI resulting in sudden cardiac death Type 4a is an MI associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) Type 4b is MI associated with in-stent thrombosis Type 4c is MI related to restenosis Type 5 is an MI associated with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) All Rights Reserved 18 9

10 New Guidelines for 2018 Codes I21.01-I21.4 should only be assigned for Type 1 AMIs in Notes have been added to specify that STEMI subcategories I21.0-, I21.1-, and I21.2- apply only to Type 1 MIs. Code I21.3, STEMI of unspecified site: Acute MI, unspecified. Code I21.9, Acute myocardial infarction, unspecified, is the default for unspecified acute myocardial infarction or unspecified type. All Rights Reserved 19 New Guidelines for 2018 If only Type 1 STEMI or transmural MI without the site is documented, code I21.3 should be assigned. NSTEMI code I21.4 should be reported for Type 1 non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and nontransmural MIs. A STEMI code should be reported both when STEMI converts to NSTEMI and when NSTEMI converts to STEMI. This rule applies to Type 1 MIs. If an acute MI is documented as nontransmural or subendocardial, but the site is provided, it should be still coded as a subendocardial acute MI. All Rights Reserved 20 10

11 New Guidelines for 2018 Subsequent acute MI: The existing rule about using a code from I22.- (Subsequent STEMI and NSTEMI) for AMI within four weeks of another AMI has not changed, but it now applies specifically to Type 1 and unspecified AMI. Coders should continue to use Code I22.- in conjunction with the I21.- code, sequencing them based on the circumstances of the encounter. Do Not assign code I22.- for subsequent myocardial infarctions other than Type 1 or unspecified. Only code I21.A1 should be assigned for subsequent Type 2 AMI. All Rights Reserved 21 New Guidelines for 2018 Only code I21.A9 should be reported for subsequent Type 4 or Type 5 AMI. MI due to demand ischemia or secondary to ischemic (im)balance should be assigned to Type 2 MI and not I24.8, Other forms of acute ischemic heart disease. The Code also and Code first notes should be followed related to complications, and for coding of postprocedural myocardial infarctions during or following cardiac surgery. All Rights Reserved 22 11

20 Size and Location The human heart is about the size of a fist. It is located in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity, slightly left of the midline. It s pointed tip, the apex, rests just above the diaphragm. All Rights Reserved 39 Heart Chambers The inside of the heart has four chambers: Right Atria; receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava that is returning from the body Left Atria; receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins Right Ventricle; pushes the deoxygenated blood from the right atria into the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation Left Ventricle; pushes the oxygenated blood from the left atria into the aorta to distribute nutrients and oxygen to every cell in the body All Rights Reserved 40 20

Heart Valves The heart has four valves; two at the exit of the atria and two at the exit of the ventricles. The valves prevent the blood from flowing backward into the heart chambers.

21 Heart Valves The heart has four valves; two at the exit of the atria and two at the exit of the ventricles. The valves prevent the blood from flowing backward into the heart chambers. They open and close depending on the pressure of the blood surrounding them. If the blood pressure behind the valves is greater than in front of them they will open. If the blood pressure in front is greater they will close. All Rights Reserved 41 Heart Valves All Rights Reserved 42 21

22 Mitral and Tricuspid Valves The mitral and tricuspid valves located between the atria and the ventricles have specialized attachments called the papillary muscles and the chordae tendineae. These prevent the valves from opening backward into the atria when ventricular pressure rises. Papillary muscles contract along with the ventricle, pulling taut the chordae tendineae to keep the valve tight shut. All Rights Reserved 43 ICD-10 Codes I34 Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders I34.0 insufficiency I34.1 prolapse I34.2 stenosis I35 Nonrheumatic aortic valve disorders I35.0 stenosis I35.1 insufficiency I34.2 stenosis with insufficiency I36 Nonrheumatic tricuspid valve disorders I36.0 stenosis I36.1 insufficiency I36.2 stenosis with insufficiency I37 Nonrheumatic pulmonary valve disorders I37.0 stenosis I37.1 insufficiency I37.2 stenosis with insufficiency All Rights Reserved 44 22

24 Cardiac Cycle 1. Diastole: At this stage the ventricles are relaxed. In early diastole the mitral and tricuspid valves open and blood that has been building up in the atria during systole rapidly flows into the ventricles. the blood returning to the heart flows from the atria into the ventricles. At the end of this process the ventricles are about 75% full. All Rights Reserved 47 Cardiac Cycle 2. Atrial Systole: The right and left atria contract simultaneously, forcing any remaining blood into the ventricles, which are still relaxed, through the mitral and tricuspid valves. After atrial systole the ventricles are full, yet the contraction of the atria has only contributed to 25% of this volume. Even higher pressure in the contracting atria keeps the mitral and tricuspid valves open. The aortic and pulmonary valves remain closed. All Rights Reserved 48 24

25 Cardiac Cycle 3. Isovolumic Contraction: This is the first stage of systole, when the muscle of the ventricles starts to contract and increase the pressure on the blood within the ventricle. This increased pressure is enough to close the mitral and tricuspid valves, but not enough to open the aortic and pulmonary valves. During this stage the ventricles contract as a closed system. Increased ventricular pressure means the mitral and tricuspid valves close, yet it is not high enough to open the pulmonary and aortic valves. All Rights Reserved 49 Cardiac Cycle 4. Ejection: Eventually the ventricular contraction causes the pressure of the blood within the ventricles to exceed the pressure of the blood in the aorta and pulmonary arteries. At this point the aortic and pulmonary valves are forced open and blood is powerfully ejected from the ventricles. The papillary muscles prevent the mitral and tricuspid valves from opening. All Rights Reserved 50 25

26 Cardiac Cycle 5. Isovolumic Relaxation: Isovolumic relaxation is the earliest phase of diastole. The ventricles start to relax and the pressure of blood within the falls to below that of the blood in the aorta and pulmonary artery. The aortic and pulmonary valves both close. The pressure in the ventricles is still too high to allow the mitral and tricuspid valves to open. All Rights Reserved 51 Cardiac Conduction System All Rights Reserved 52 26

27 Cardiac Conduction System The cardiac conduction system consists of specialized cells that transport electrical impulses through the cardiac muscle in order to trigger its contraction. The impulse for each heartbeat starts in the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is located in the right atrium. It rapidly flows through the atria and causes them to contract (atrial systole).. All Rights Reserved 53 Cardiac Conduction System Electricity cannot pass directly between the atria and ventricles; instead it is channeled into the atrioventricular (AV) node. It is delayed slightly to ensure that the atrial contraction is over before the ventricles start to contract. After leaving the AV node, the electrical impulse rushes through the bundle of His and Purkinje fibers. These are the conducting fibers that run through the ventricle walls, to stimulate contraction of the ventricles. All Rights Reserved 54 27

Blood Supply The heart is the most active muscle in the body. It needs a constant supply of blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to its cells and remove their waste.

28 Blood Supply The heart is the most active muscle in the body. It needs a constant supply of blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to its cells and remove their waste. Even though the heart is always full of blood, this cannot reach all the cells of its thick walls. So the heart has its own blood vessels, the coronary circulation. All Rights Reserved 55 Coronary System All Rights Reserved 56 28

Coronary Arteries The coronary arteries that supply the heart are forced shut under the pressure of the contracting muscle. Therefore, they can only fill when the heart is relaxed during diastole.

29 Coronary Arteries The coronary arteries that supply the heart are forced shut under the pressure of the contracting muscle. Therefore, they can only fill when the heart is relaxed during diastole. The main coronary arteries are: Right coronary artery (PDA PLA) Left circumflex artery (OM) Left anterior descending (Diagonal) Left Main (LM) Ramus Intermedius (RI) All Rights Reserved 57 Diseases of the Heart Signs of Coronary Artery Disease A precursor to a heart attack, coronary artery disease or CAD occurs when sticky plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. This narrows the arteries, making it more difficult for blood to flow through. Many people don't know they have CAD until a heart attack strikes. But there are warning signs, such as recurring chest pain caused by the restricted arteries: ICD-10-CM: I20.0 I20.9 All Rights Reserved 58 29

Diseases of the Heart Inside a Heart Attack The plaque deposited in your arteries is hard on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside. Sometimes the hard outer shell cracks.

Without immediate treatment, that part of the heart muscle could be damaged or destroyed. ICD10-CM: I21 I22.

30 Diseases of the Heart Inside a Heart Attack The plaque deposited in your arteries is hard on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside. Sometimes the hard outer shell cracks. When this happens, a blood clot forms around the plaque. If the clot completely blocks the artery, it cuts off the blood supply to a portion of the heart. Without immediate treatment, that part of the heart muscle could be damaged or destroyed. ICD10-CM: I21 I22.9 All Rights Reserved 59 Diseases of the Heart Arrhythmia: Erratic Heart Beat Regular electrical impulses cause your heart to beat. But sometimes those impulses become erratic. The heart may race, slow down, or quiver. Arrhythmias are often harmless variations in rhythm that pass quickly. But some types make your heart less effective at pumping blood, and that can take a serious toll on the body. Let your doctor know if you've noticed your heart beating abnormally. ICD10-CM: I49 I49.9 All Rights Reserved 60 30

Cardiomyopathy is sometimes associated with other chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure or heart valve disease.

31 Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy is a disease involving changes in the heart muscle. These changes may interfere with the heart's ability to pump effectively, which can lead to a chronic condition called heart failure. Cardiomyopathy is sometimes associated with other chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure or heart valve disease. ICD-10-CM: I42 I43 All Rights Reserved 61 Diseases of the Heart Heart Failure Heart failure doesn't mean your heart stops working. It means the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Over time, the heart gets bigger to hold more blood, it pumps faster to increase the amount of blood moving out of it, and the blood vessels narrow. The heart muscle may also weaken, reducing the blood supply even more. Most cases of heart failure are the result of coronary artery disease and heart attacks.

Myocardial Ischemia Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) is obstructed by a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery by a buildup of plaques

32 Myocardial Ischemia Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) is obstructed by a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery by a buildup of plaques (atherosclerosis). If the plaques rupture, you can have a heart attack (myocardial infarction). ICD-10-CM: I25 I25.6 All Rights Reserved 63 Angioplasty Treatment: Angioplasty Angioplasty is used to open a blocked heart artery and improve blood flow to the heart. The doctor inserts a thin catheter with a balloon on the end into the artery. When the balloon reaches the blockage, it is expanded, opening up the artery and improving blood flow. The doctor may also insert a small mesh tube, called a stent, to help keep the artery open after angioplasty. All Rights Reserved 64 32
