Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and tricuspid valves
ICD-10 I08.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of rheumatic disorders of both mitral and tricuspid valves.
Rheumatic disorders of both the mitral and tricuspid valves are a result of rheumatic fever, which is a complication of untreated streptococcal throat infections. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, and signs of heart failure. The mitral valve, located between the left atrium and left ventricle, and the tricuspid valve, situated between the right atrium and right ventricle, can both become inflamed and scarred due to rheumatic fever, leading to stenosis or regurgitation. Disease progression can result in significant hemodynamic changes, ultimately leading to congestive heart failure if left untreated. Diagnosis typically involves echocardiography to assess valve function and structure, alongside clinical evaluation and history of rheumatic fever. Additional tests may include electrocardiograms and chest X-rays to evaluate heart size and function. Early intervention is crucial to manage symptoms and prevent further complications.

I08.1 encompasses rheumatic heart disease affecting both the mitral and tricuspid valves, including conditions such as rheumatic mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, tricuspid stenosis, and tricuspid regurgitation resulting from rheumatic fever.
I08.1 should be used when both the mitral and tricuspid valves are affected by rheumatic disease. If only one valve is involved, the appropriate specific code (I05 or I07) should be selected.
Documentation must include a history of rheumatic fever, clinical symptoms, echocardiographic findings demonstrating involvement of both valves, and any treatment plans or interventions undertaken.
