Code Description

ICD-10 I51.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of rupture of papillary muscle, not elsewhere classified.

Key Diagnostic Point:

Rupture of papillary muscle, not elsewhere classified, occurs when the muscle that anchors the heart valves to the heart wall tears, often due to ischemia or myocardial infarction. This condition can result in acute mitral valve insufficiency, leading to pulmonary edema and shock. Diagnosis is typically confirmed via echocardiography, and treatment usually involves surgical intervention to repair the valve or replace it.
