Rupture of chordae tendineae, not elsewhere classified
ICD-10 I51.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of rupture of chordae tendineae, not elsewhere classified.
Rupture of chordae tendineae, not elsewhere classified, is a serious cardiac condition where the fibrous cords that connect the heart valves to the heart muscle tear. This can lead to acute valve insufficiency, resulting in severe hemodynamic instability. The rupture may occur due to ischemia, trauma, or degenerative changes. Diagnosis is typically made through echocardiography, and management often requires surgical intervention to repair or replace the affected valve.
Common causes include myocardial infarction, trauma, and degenerative valve disease.
