    2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Billable/Specific Code Questionable As Admission Dx
  • I45.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
  • The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM I45.0 became effective on October 1, 2022.
  • This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I45.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 I45.0 may differ.
ICD-10-CM Coding Rules
  • I45.0 is not usually sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.

    Type 2 Excludes
    • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
    • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
    • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
    • congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)

    Diseases of the circulatory system
Clinical Information
  • A cardiac rhythm characterized by a qrs duration of 120 ms, rsr' or rsr' complexes in v1 and v2, delayed onset of intrinsicoid, deflection in v1 and v2 >50 ms, broad, slurred s wave in 1, v5, and v6.
  • An impairment of transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse along the fibers of the right bundle branch. A " complete rbbb pattern" (with qrs duration > 0.11s) does not necessarily reflect the existence of a total conduction block in the right branch. This pattern only indicates that the entire or major parts of both ventricles are activated by the impulse emerging from the left branch. Thus, a significant degree of conduction delay ("high-grade" or "incomplete rbbb") can produce a similar pattern.

ICD-10-CM I45.0 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
  • 308 Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with mcc
  • 309 Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with cc
  • 310 Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders without cc/mcc
