Other heart disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
ICD-10 I52 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other heart disorders in diseases classified elsewhere.
I52 encompasses heart disorders that are classified elsewhere in the ICD-10 coding system. This includes conditions such as heart failure due to systemic diseases, cardiac manifestations of systemic diseases, and other heart-related complications arising from non-cardiac conditions. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, edema, and palpitations, which can complicate the diagnosis. The anatomy involved primarily includes the heart and its associated structures, such as the myocardium, valves, and coronary arteries. Disease progression can vary significantly based on the underlying systemic condition, which may lead to chronic heart failure or acute decompensation. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, echocardiography, and other imaging modalities to assess cardiac function and structure. Laboratory tests may also be necessary to evaluate underlying systemic diseases contributing to heart dysfunction.

I52 covers heart disorders that arise as a complication of systemic diseases, such as cardiac amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, and other conditions where heart involvement is secondary to a primary systemic disorder.
I52 should be used when the heart disorder is specifically due to a systemic disease, and other codes like I50 or I51 do not accurately capture the etiology of the heart condition.
Documentation should include a clear diagnosis of the underlying systemic disease, evidence of cardiac involvement, and any relevant diagnostic tests that demonstrate the relationship between the two.
