ICD Code I44.30

ICD code I44.30 is unspecified atrioventricular block, which refers to a heart condition where the electrical signals between the upper and lower chambers of the heart are partially or completely blocked, but the specific type or degree of block is not identified.

1. Evidence of impaired conduction between the atria and ventricles on electrocardiogram (ECG)

2. Presence of symptoms such as syncope, dizziness, fatigue, or palpitations suggestive of heart block

3. Absence of specification regarding the degree or type of atrioventricular block (first, second, or third degree not clearly identified)

4. No clear identification of underlying etiology or associated cardiac condition

5. Clinical documentation indicating atrioventricular block without further subclassification

Relevant CPT codes that may be used to treat ICD code I44.30 include:

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

- 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, including recording, transmission, physician review and interpretation)

- 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)

- 33210 (Insertion or replacement of temporary transvenous single chamber cardiac electrode or pacemaker catheter)

These CPT codes are commonly associated with the management and treatment of ICD code I44.30.
