Certain heart conditions with hypertension are assigned codes from which category?

The correct answer is I11, as this category specifically pertains to hypertension, which is a common risk factor for various cardiovascular conditions. The codes in the I11 range are used for cases where a patient has hypertension that is secondary to, or associated with, heart disease. This means that if a patient presents with a heart condition that is linked to hypertension, the relevant I11 code is appropriate for classification according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CM).

The I12 category is designated for hypertension with kidney disease, illustrating how classifications are structured based on the underlying conditions affecting specific organs. The I51 category is related to other forms of heart disease that do not fall under the more specific classifications, while I13 codes address heart failure with hypertension and specific heart conditions, but are focused more broadly on heart and renal connections. I11 remains the best fit specifically for direct associations between heart conditions and hypertension.
