ICD-10-CM Code I50.1
Left ventricular failure
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.I50.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of left ventricular failure. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code I501 is used to code Cardiac asthma
Cardiac asthma is a medical diagnosis of wheezing, coughing or shortness of breath due to congestive heart failure. It is known as cardiac asthma because the symptoms mimic ordinary asthma. One study found that patients with cardiac asthma represented one third of congestive heart failure in elderly patients.

Inclusion Terms
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive. - Cardiac asthma
- Edema of lung with heart disease NOS
- Edema of lung with heart failure
- Left heart failure
- Pulmonary edema with heart disease NOS
- Pulmonary edema with heart failure

Code Type-1 Excludes:
Type-1 Excludes
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here." - Edema of lung without heart disease or heart failure - instead, use code J81.-
- Pulmonary edema without heart disease or failure - instead, use code J81.-

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 428.1 was previously used, I50.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
