What ICD-10 Codes Are Used for Diastolic Dysfunction?
Diastolic Dysfunction, a heart condition related to how your heart fills with blood, has specific ICD-10 codes. These Diastolic Dysfunction ICD codes include:
- I50.33: Acute chronic congestive (systolic) heart failure
- I50.32: Chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure
- I50.40: Unspecified combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure
Which Diastolic Dysfunction ICD Codes Are Billable?
The following ICD codes are billable:
- I50.33: Yes, this is a billable code. It's used for acute on chronic congestive (systolic) heart failure.
- I50.32: Yes, it's billable. It signifies chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure.
- I50.40: Yes, this code is billable. It is used for unspecified combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure.
Clinical Information
Diastolic dysfunction is when the heart's ability to fill with blood is impaired. Here's what you need to know:
- Understanding the Condition: The heart is a muscle that contracts (systole) to pump blood and then relaxes (diastole) to fill with blood. Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the heart doesn't fill appropriately during the diastolic phase.
- Symptoms: Diastolic dysfunction often doesn't have symptoms in the early stages. As it progresses, it may lead to diastolic heart failure, where symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, rapid or irregular heartbeat, and edema may occur.
- Risk Factors: Aging, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and coronary artery disease are some risk factors.
- Diagnosis: It's diagnosed using echocardiography, which can assess the filling properties of the left ventricle.
- Treatment: Treatment often involves managing the underlying cause, such as controlling blood pressure in hypertension or blood sugar in diabetes.
Synonyms Include:
- Heart Filling Dysfunction
- Diastolic Heart Failure
- Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

Commonly asked questions
Diastolic dysfunction refers to a problem with the heart's ability to fill with blood, while systolic dysfunction refers to a problem with the heart's ability to contract and pump out blood.
Treatment for diastolic dysfunction typically involves managing underlying conditions, such as hypertension or diabetes. While it may not be fully reversible, the progression of the disease can often be slowed with appropriate treatment.
Early stages of diastolic dysfunction may not have noticeable symptoms. As the condition progresses into diastolic heart failure, symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, rapid or irregular heartbeat, and edema may occur.
