ICD Code I42-

ICD code I42- is cardiomyopathy, which refers to diseases of the heart muscle that make it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.

1. Presence of symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or palpitations not explained by other conditions

2. Evidence of abnormal heart structure or function on imaging studies (e.g., echocardiogram, MRI)

3. Documentation of ventricular dilation, hypertrophy, or restrictive filling patterns

4. Exclusion of ischemic, valvular, hypertensive, or congenital heart disease as the primary cause

5. Family history suggestive of a genetic or familial cardiac disorder

6. Laboratory or biopsy findings supporting a primary myocardial disease

7. Clinical course characterized by progressive heart failure, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac events
