Hypertensive heart disease
ICD-10 I11 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease.
Hypertensive heart disease (I11) refers to heart conditions that arise as a result of hypertension, which is defined as persistently elevated blood pressure. This condition can lead to various complications, including left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. The anatomy involved primarily includes the heart and blood vessels, particularly the left ventricle, which may thicken due to the increased workload from high blood pressure. Disease progression often involves a gradual deterioration of cardiac function, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. Diagnostic considerations for I11 include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and blood pressure monitoring. It is crucial to differentiate hypertensive heart disease from other heart conditions to ensure appropriate management and treatment strategies.

I11 encompasses conditions such as hypertensive heart failure, hypertensive heart disease with left ventricular hypertrophy, and other heart conditions directly related to chronic hypertension.
I11 should be used when there is clear evidence of heart disease resulting from hypertension, as opposed to using I10 for essential hypertension alone or I50 for heart failure without a direct link to hypertension.
Documentation must include a diagnosis of hypertension, evidence of heart disease (such as echocardiogram results), and a treatment plan addressing both conditions.
