What Left Axis Deviation ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Left Axis Deviation ICD codes, please note there are no ICD-10 codes that mention left axis deviation. That doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
Left Axis Deviation is a term that can come up when reading the results of an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). This is the designation that will be given if the ventricular axis is between -30° and -90º.
The ICD-10 code that you can use for this is R94.31 - Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG]. You can use this code if your patient is confirmed to have a Left Axis Deviation based on electrocardiogram results. Please note this is not valid as a principal diagnosis this is meant to explain the results of an electrocardiogram. It doesn’t diagnose anything.
