Rheumatic tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency
ICD-10 I07.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of rheumatic tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency.
Rheumatic tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency is a heart condition resulting from rheumatic fever, which can lead to inflammation and scarring of the heart valves. The tricuspid valve, located between the right atrium and right ventricle, can become narrowed (stenosis) or fail to close properly (insufficiency), causing impaired blood flow and increased pressure in the right atrium. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as fatigue, palpitations, peripheral edema, and signs of right heart failure. The disease progression can lead to significant complications, including atrial fibrillation and right-sided heart failure. Diagnostic considerations include echocardiography, which is essential for assessing valve morphology and hemodynamic impact, along with clinical history and physical examination findings. Other imaging modalities may be utilized to evaluate the severity of the condition and guide treatment decisions.

I07.2 covers rheumatic tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency, which may occur concurrently or separately as a result of rheumatic heart disease. It is characterized by the narrowing of the tricuspid valve and/or its inability to close properly, leading to hemodynamic changes.
I07.2 should be used when both stenosis and insufficiency of the tricuspid valve are present. If only one condition is documented, the appropriate specific code should be selected, such as I07.1 for stenosis alone.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical history, physical examination findings, echocardiographic results, and any relevant laboratory tests that support the diagnosis of rheumatic tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency.
