Can someone tell me what ICD9 you would use for atrial enlargement

 

[TonyaMichelle]

For atrial enlargement, I would capture the code 429.89 carditis, because carditis is inflammation of the heart or its surroundings and the atria are 2 of the chambers of the heart. I hope this helped. TW, CPC

I would assign 429.3 for the DX of atrial enlargement.
