ICD Code I50.2 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of I50.2 that describes the diagnosis 'systolic (congestive) heart failure' in more detail.


The ICD code I50 is used to code Acute decompensated heart failure

Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of the signs and symptoms of heart failure, which typically includes difficulty breathing (dyspnea), leg or feet swelling, and fatigue. ADHF is a common and potentially serious cause of acute respiratory distress. The condition is caused by severe congestion of multiple organs by fluid that is inadequately circulated by the failing heart. An attack of decompensation can be caused by underlying medical illness, such as myocardial infarction, infection, or thyroid disease.
