Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders
ICD-10 I34 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders.
Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the mitral valve, which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. These disorders can include mitral valve prolapse, mitral regurgitation, and mitral stenosis, among others. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as dyspnea, palpitations, fatigue, and in severe cases, heart failure. The anatomy involved includes the mitral valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles, which work together to ensure proper blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Disease progression can vary; some patients may remain asymptomatic for years, while others may experience rapid deterioration requiring surgical intervention. Diagnostic considerations include echocardiography, which is the primary imaging modality used to assess mitral valve structure and function, along with clinical evaluation and history taking to identify symptoms and risk factors. Regular monitoring and follow-up are crucial for managing these conditions effectively.

I34 covers nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders such as mitral valve prolapse, nonrheumatic mitral regurgitation, and nonrheumatic mitral stenosis. Each condition has specific diagnostic criteria based on echocardiographic findings and clinical symptoms.
I34 should be used when the mitral valve disorder is confirmed to be nonrheumatic. If the disorder is due to rheumatic fever or other rheumatic conditions, codes from the I35 category should be utilized.
Documentation for I34 should include detailed clinical notes outlining the patient's symptoms, history, and results from echocardiography or other imaging studies that confirm the diagnosis of a nonrheumatic mitral valve disorder.
