Congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves
Chapter 17:Congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities
ICD-10 Q23 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code Q23 encompasses congenital malformations of the aortic and mitral valves, which are critical components of the heart's anatomy. These malformations can lead to significant hemodynamic disturbances and may present with a range of clinical symptoms, including heart murmurs, heart failure, and cyanosis. Conditions covered under this category include aortic stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, and other structural anomalies that affect the function of these valves. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent complications such as infective endocarditis and progressive heart failure, making this category clinically significant in pediatric and adult populations alike.

Q23 includes congenital malformations such as aortic stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, and other structural anomalies affecting the aortic and mitral valves.
Q23 codes should be used when diagnosing congenital malformations of the aortic and mitral valves, particularly when these conditions are confirmed through imaging or clinical evaluation.
Documentation should include clinical findings, imaging results (such as echocardiograms), and any associated symptoms or complications related to the valve malformations.
