I am doing a cardiac cath report with a severely impaired left ventricular function and moderately elevated filling pressures. What would you use as an I-9 code for this? Our encoder is pointing us to 429.9. The cardiologist also states evidence of ichemic cardiomyopathy. Thank you for any feedback.
 
I agree as well I use 429.9 for left ventricular dysfunction but I would not code 414.8 for ischemic cardiomyopathy anything that states "evidence of" I usually leave out because it doesn't necessarily mean they have it
