ICD Code I44.0

ICD code I44.0 is first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, a condition where the electrical signals between the heart’s chambers are slowed but not completely blocked.

1. Prolongation of the PR interval on electrocardiogram (ECG) greater than 200 milliseconds

2. Regular atrial and ventricular rhythm

3. No dropped beats or missed QRS complexes

4. Absence of symptoms such as syncope or severe bradycardia

5. Patient may be asymptomatic or present with mild symptoms such as fatigue or lightheadedness

6. No evidence of higher-degree atrioventricular block

Relevant CPT codes that may be used to treat ICD code I44.0 include:

- 93000 (Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report)

- 93010 (Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; interpretation and report only)

- 93224 (External electrocardiographic recording up to 48 hours by continuous rhythm recording and storage; includes recording, scanning analysis with report, physician review and interpretation)

- 93268 (External patient and physician-activated electrocardiographic rhythm derived event recording with symptom related memory loop, 30 days recording, includes transmission, physician review and interpretation)

- 93279-93289 (Invasive electrophysiologic procedures, e.g., intracardiac electrophysiologic studies)

- 33206 (Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); atrial)

- 33207 (Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); ventricular)

- 33208 (Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); atrial and ventricular)

These CPT codes are commonly associated with the evaluation and management of patients with ICD code I44.0.
