Code Classification

  • Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period
    (P00–P96)
    • Respiratory and cardiovascular disorders specific to the perinatal period
      (P19-P29)
      • Cardiovascular disorders originating in the perinatal period
        (P29)

P29.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of cardiovascular disorder originating in the perinatal period, unspecified. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like P29.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Brain Ischemia

    localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. this frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (hypoxia, brain). prolonged ischemia is associated with brain infarction.
  • Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia

    a severe form of peripheral artery disease in which a hypoperfusion of the blood through an organ or tissue is caused by occlusion of peripheral arterial vessels. it is associated with the presence of chronic ischemic rest pain, ulceration or gangrene.
  • Cold Ischemia

    the chilling of a tissue or organ during decreased blood perfusion or in the absence of blood supply. cold ischemia time during organ transplantation begins when the organ is cooled with a cold perfusion solution after organ procurement surgery, and ends after the tissue reaches physiological temperature during implantation procedures.
  • Hypoxia-Ischemia, Brain

    a disorder characterized by a reduction of oxygen in the blood combined with reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the brain from a localized obstruction of a cerebral artery or from systemic hypoperfusion. prolonged hypoxia-ischemia is associated with ischemic attack, transient; brain infarction; brain edema; coma; and other conditions.
  • Ischemia

    a hypoperfusion of the blood through an organ or tissue caused by a pathologic constriction or obstruction of its blood vessels, or an absence of blood circulation.
  • Ischemic Attack, Transient

    brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic). (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, pp814-6)
  • Mesenteric Ischemia

    ischemic tissue injury produced by insufficient perfusion of intestinal tissue by the mesenteric circulation (i.e., celiac artery; superior mesenteric artery; infererior mesenteric artery; and mesenteric veins). it can progress from ischemia; edema; and gangrene of the bowel wall to peritonitis and cardiovascular collapse.
  • Myocardial Ischemia

    a disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. the decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (coronary artery disease), to obstruction by a thrombus (coronary thrombosis), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (myocardial infarction).
  • Optic Neuropathy, Ischemic

    ischemic injury to the optic nerve which usually affects the optic disk (optic neuropathy, anterior ischemic) and less frequently the retrobulbar portion of the nerve (optic neuropathy, posterior ischemic). the injury results from occlusion of arterial blood supply which may result from temporal arteritis; atherosclerosis; collagen diseases; embolism; diabetes mellitus; and other conditions. the disease primarily occurs in the sixth decade or later and presents with the sudden onset of painless and usually severe monocular visual loss. anterior ischemic optic neuropathy also features optic disk edema with microhemorrhages. the optic disk appears normal in posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. (glaser, neuro-ophthalmology, 2nd ed, p135)
  • Reperfusion Injury

    adverse functional, metabolic, or structural changes in tissues that result from the restoration of blood flow to the tissue (reperfusion) following ischemia.
  • Spinal Cord Ischemia

    reduced blood flow to the spinal cord which is supplied by the anterior spinal artery and the paired posterior spinal arteries. this condition may be associated with arteriosclerosis, trauma, emboli, diseases of the aorta, and other disorders. prolonged ischemia may lead to infarction of spinal cord tissue.
  • Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency

    localized or diffuse reduction in blood flow through the vertebrobasilar arterial system, which supplies the brain stem; cerebellum; occipital lobe; medial temporal lobe; and thalamus. characteristic clinical features include syncope; lightheadedness; visual disturbances; and vertigo. brain stem infarctions or other brain infarction may be associated.
  • Warm Ischemia

    a tissue or organ remaining at physiological temperature during decreased blood perfusion or in the absence of blood supply. during organ transplantation it begins when the organ reaches physiological temperature before the completion of surgical anastomosis and ends with reestablishment of the blood circulation through the tissue.

Heart Diseases

What is heart disease?

Heart disease is a general term that includes many types of heart problems. It's also called cardiovascular disease, which means heart and blood vessel disease.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, but there are ways to prevent and manage many types of heart disease.

What are the types of heart disease?

There are many different types of heart disease. Some you may be born with, called congenital heart disease. Other types develop during your lifetime.

Coronary artery disease (also called coronary heart disease) is the most common type of heart disease. It happens slowly over time when a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply your heart muscle with blood. The plaque narrows or blocks blood flow to the heart muscle and can lead to other heart problems:

  • Angina - chest pain from lack of blood flow
  • Heart attacks - when part of the heart muscle dies from loss of blood flow
  • Heart failure - when your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs
  • Arrhythmia - a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat

Other types of heart diseases may affect your heart valves or heart muscle (cardiomyopathy).

What causes heart diseases?

The causes of heart disease depend on the type of disease. Some possible causes include lifestyle, genetics, infections, medicines, and other diseases.

Who is more likely to develop heart diseases?

There are many different factors that can make you more likely to develop heart disease. Some of these factors you can change, but others you cannot.

  • Age. Your risk of heart disease goes up as you get older.
  • Sex. Some factors may affect heart disease risk differently in women than in men.
  • Family history and genetics. A family history of early heart disease raises your risk of heart disease. And research has shown that some genes are linked to a higher risk of certain heart diseases.
  • Race/ethnicity. Certain groups have higher risks than others.
  • Lifestyle habits. Over time, unhealthy lifestyle habits can raise your risk heart disease:
    • Eating a diet high in saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and salt.
    • Not getting enough physical activity.
    • Drinking too much alcohol.
    • Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke.
    • Too much stress.
  • Having other medical conditions can raise your risk of heart diseases. These conditions include:
    • High blood pressure.
    • High cholesterol levels.
    • Diabetes.
    • Obesity.
    • Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
    • Chronic kidney disease.
    • Metabolic syndrome.

What are the symptoms of heart disease?

Your symptoms will depend on the type of heart disease you have. You may not have symptoms at first. In some cases, you may not know you have heart disease until you have a complication such as a heart attack.

How are heart diseases diagnosed?

To find out if you have heart disease, your health care provider will:

  • Ask about your medical history, including your symptoms
  • Ask about your family health history, including relatives who have had heart disease
  • Do a physical exam
  • Likely run heart tests and blood tests

In some cases, your provider may refer you to a cardiologist (a doctor who specializes in heart diseases) for tests, diagnosis, and care.

What are the treatments for heart disease?

Treatment plans for heart disease depend on the type of heart disease you have, how serious your symptoms are, and what other health conditions you have. Possible treatments may include:

  • Heart-healthy lifestyle changes
  • Medicines
  • Procedures or surgeries
  • Cardiac rehabilitation

Can heart diseases be prevented?

You may be able to lower your risk of certain heart diseases by making heart-healthy lifestyle changes and managing any other medical conditions you have.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
