Clinical Information

• Endomyocardial Fibrosis

  a condition characterized by the thickening of the ventricular endocardium and subendocardium (myocardium), seen mostly in children and young adults in the tropical climate. the fibrous tissue extends from the apex toward and often involves the heart valves causing restrictive blood flow into the respective ventricles (cardiomyopathy, restrictive).

• Endomyocardial Fibrosis

  a disease characterized by fibrotic thickening of the endocardium, particularly the right and/or left inflow tracts. the disease often involves the atrioventricular valves, leading to valvular regurgitaion. it most commonly occurs in children living within 15 degrees of the equator.

• Myocardial Degeneration

  degeneration of myocardial tissue.

Code Edits

The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:

• Manifestation diagnoses - Manifestation codes describe the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis.

I43 is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together diagnosis codes for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on their principal diagnosis in areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). Once a patient is assigned a particular diagnostic category, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care for that patient. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

MS-DRG	MS-DRG Title	MCD	Relative Weight
314	OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH MCC	05	2.0935
315	OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH CC	05	0.9673
316	OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC	05	0.6927

The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Convert I43 to ICD-9-CM

  Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is the name for diseases of the heart muscle. These diseases enlarge your heart muscle or make it thicker and more rigid than normal. In rare cases, scar tissue replaces the muscle tissue.

Some people live long, healthy lives with cardiomyopathy. Some people don't even realize they have it. In others, however, it can make the heart less able to pump blood through the body. This can cause serious complications, including:

• Heart failure
• Abnormal heart rhythms
• Heart valve problems
• Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)

Heart attacks, high blood pressure, infections, and other diseases can all cause cardiomyopathy. Some types of cardiomyopathy run in families. In many people, however, the cause is unknown. Treatment might involve medicines, surgery, other medical procedures, and lifestyle changes.
