Congenital mitral stenosis
ICD-10 Q23.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital mitral stenosis.
Congenital mitral stenosis is a structural heart defect characterized by the narrowing of the mitral valve, which impedes blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This condition can lead to increased pressure in the left atrium, pulmonary congestion, and potential heart failure if not managed appropriately. It is often associated with other congenital heart defects, such as atrial septal defects or coarctation of the aorta. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, fatigue, and poor growth in infants and children. Diagnosis typically involves echocardiography, which can visualize the mitral valve's structure and function. Treatment options may include medical management, surgical intervention, or balloon valvuloplasty, depending on the severity of the stenosis and the presence of other cardiac anomalies. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in affected individuals.
Pediatric documentation should include growth parameters, developmental milestones, and specific symptoms related to heart function.
Common scenarios include infants presenting with failure to thrive, respiratory distress, or heart murmurs detected during routine examinations.
Consideration must be given to the age of the patient and the potential for growth-related changes in symptoms and management.
Genetic documentation should include family history of congenital heart defects and any chromosomal abnormalities that may be associated.
Scenarios may involve genetic counseling for families with a history of congenital heart disease or syndromic presentations.
Genetic testing results should be documented clearly, especially if they relate to syndromes that include congenital heart defects.
Used for initial diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of congenital mitral stenosis.
Echocardiographic findings must be documented, including valve morphology and function.
Pediatric echocardiography may require specialized training and interpretation.
Common symptoms include difficulty breathing, fatigue, poor growth, and heart murmurs. Symptoms may vary based on the severity of the stenosis and the age of the patient.
