Combined rheumatic disorders of mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves
ICD-10 I08.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of combined rheumatic disorders of mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves.
I08.3 refers to combined rheumatic disorders affecting the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves, which are critical components of the heart's anatomy. These disorders typically arise from rheumatic fever, a complication of untreated streptococcal throat infection. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, and signs of heart failure. The disease progression can lead to significant valvular stenosis or regurgitation, resulting in compromised cardiac output and increased workload on the heart. Diagnosis often involves echocardiography to assess valve structure and function, alongside clinical evaluation of symptoms. Other diagnostic considerations include laboratory tests to identify streptococcal infection and inflammatory markers. Management may involve medical therapy, surgical intervention, or valve replacement, depending on the severity of the condition and the specific valves involved.

I08.3 encompasses combined rheumatic heart diseases affecting the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves, typically resulting from rheumatic fever. It includes conditions such as rheumatic mitral stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and tricuspid regurgitation.
I08.3 should be used when there is documented involvement of multiple heart valves due to rheumatic disease, distinguishing it from codes that specify involvement of a single valve.
Documentation must include clinical findings, echocardiographic results showing multi-valve involvement, and evidence of rheumatic fever history or streptococcal infection.
