    Type 1 Excludes
    Complications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease
Approximate Synonyms
  • Atrial enlargement
  • Atrial enlargement, left
  • Atrial enlargement, right
  • Bilateral enlargement of atria
  • Cardiomegaly (enlarged heart)
  • Hypertrophy or dilatation of right ventricle
  • Left atrial enlargement
  • Left ventricular dilatation
  • Left ventricular hypertrophy
  • Right atrial enlargement
  • Right ventricular enlargement
  • Ventricular enlargement, right
Clinical Information
  • Abnormal enlargement of the heart.
  • Enlargement of the heart due to chamber hypertrophy, an increase in wall thickness without an increase in the number of cells (myocytes, cardiac). It is the result of increase in myocyte size, mitochondrial and myofibrillar mass, as well as changes in extracellular matrix.
  • Enlargement of the heart, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both heart ventricles or heart atria. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (heart failure) or several forms of cardiomyopathies.
  • Hypertrophy or enlargement of the heart.
ICD-10-CM I51.7 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
  • 302 Atherosclerosis with mcc
  • 303 Atherosclerosis without mcc
