Can anyone tell me how they would code this complete echo? I would use 429.3 for dilated ventricle and 429.9 for diastolic dysfunction. Should the myxomatous mitral valve leaflets be coded?
IMPRESSION:
Estimated ejection fraction is approximately 60 percent. The left
ventricle is mildly dilated. A variety of Doppler measurements indicate
impaired left ventricular relaxation, which is associated with grade
I/IV or mild diastolic dysfunction The mitral valve leaflets appear
myxomatous (thickened and redundant) . There is no change from
echocardiogram performed 1/22/2010
