Other intraoperative cardiac functional disturbances during cardiac surgery

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

The heart develops an abnormal rhythm or function problem during open-heart surgery that is not a complete cardiac arrest.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the specific type of cardiac functional disturbance (arrhythmia, decreased output, etc.)
  • •Distinguish from cardiac arrest (I97.710) which is a complete cessation of heartbeat
