Fact Checked by Nate Lacson.
What HFPEF ICD-10 codes can I use?
Looking for HFPEF ICD codes is tricky because there are no ICD-10 codes that mention HFPEF in their names. Even if you indicate its full name, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, you might not pull up anything.
ICD-10 codes refer to HFPEF by another term: diastolic heart failure. There are four ICD-10 codes meant for it:
- I50.30 - Unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have diastolic heart failure or HFPEF.
It has an unspecified label. What is unspecified is if the HFPEF is acute, chronic, or acute on chronic. Once you determine the specific type of HFPEF they have, you must use a more specific ICD-10 code.
- I50.31 - Acute diastolic (congestive) heart failure
This is the same as Item 1, but it’s confirmed that the HFPEF is acute this time. This means that the HFPEF occurred out of the blue.
- I50.32 - Chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure
This is the same as Item 1, but it’s confirmed that the HFPEF is chronic this time. This means that the HFPEF acts slowly as the person ages.
- I50.33 - Acute on chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure
This is the same as Item 1, but it’s confirmed that the HFPEF is acute or chronic at this time. This means the HFPEF occurred out of the blue due to heart damage over a long period.
Are these HFPEF ICD-10 codes billable?
Yes. All these ICD-10 codes for HFPEF are valid and billable.
Clinical information about HFPEF:
- Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFPEF) is a form of heart failure in which the heart's ability to pump blood effectively is preserved, but the heart muscle becomes stiff, preventing it from filling with blood properly.
- HFPEF is also known as diastolic heart failure.
- Common symptoms of HFPEF include fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, and difficulty exercising.
- Risk factors for HFPEF include age, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation.
- Treatment typically involves managing symptoms and preventing the progression of the disease with lifestyle changes and medication.
- It's important to note that HFPEF is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.
Synonyms include:
- Diastolic heart failure
- Diastolic heart failure stage A
- Diastolic heart failure stage B
- Diastolic heart failure stage C
- Diastolic heart failure stage D
- Heart failure with mid range ejection fraction
- Heart failure with normal ejection fraction
- Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Commonly asked questions
HFPEF can be caused by hypertension, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and by simply being obese.
Healthcare professionals will resort to exercise stress tests, cardiac catheterization, X-rays, echocardiograms, and EKGs to detect and diagnose HFPEF.
Effective management of HFPEF involves various treatment approaches. These include medications to lower blood pressure and eliminate excess sodium and water. Maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium is also important. Additionally, avoiding smoking and tobacco products is crucial. For individuals with obstructive sleep apnea, a CPAP machine may be recommended.
