Hypertensive heart disease (I11)

ICD-10 codes in the I11 category are used to identify types of hypertensive heart disease, which refers to heart conditions caused by high blood pressure. These codes distinguish between cases with and without heart failure, helping healthcare professionals accurately classify the impact of hypertension on the heart.

This section includes the general code I11 for hypertensive heart disease and more specific codes like I11.0, which covers hypertensive heart disease accompanied by heart failure. Common terms linked to I11.0 include benign hypertensive heart disease with congestive cardiac failure and hypertensive heart failure. The code I11.9 captures hypertensive heart disease without heart failure and is associated with various synonyms such as cardiomyopathy due to hypertension, hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy, and hypertensive heart disease complicating pregnancy. Understanding these synonyms clarifies the correct ICD-10 code for hypertensive heart disease in different clinical scenarios, including pregnancy complications and organ enlargement due to hypertension.

Cardiomegaly

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.

Cardiomegaly, Exercise-Induced

Non-pathological heart enlargement and other remodeling in cardiac morphology and electrical circuitry found in individuals who participate in intense repeated exercises.
