Cardiovascular disease by type
The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems
| Description | ICD-10 & ICD-10-AM |
|---|---|
| Cardiovascular disease (Total) | I00-I99, Excluding I84 |
| Aortic valve disorders | I35 |
| Atrial fibrillation and flutter | I48 |
| Coronary heart disease | I20-I25 |
| Haemorrhoids. This type is not included in Cardiovascular disease (Total). | I84 up to 2012/13 |
| Heart failure | I11.0, I50 |
| Hypertension | I10, I11.9 |
| Hypotension | I95 |
| Paroxysmal tachycardia | I47 |
| Peripheral vascular disease | I70-I74 |
| Pulmonary embolism | I26 |
| Transient ischaemic attacks. This type is not included in Cardiovascular disease (Total). | G45 |
| Stroke | I60-I64 |
| Varicose veins of lower extremities | I83 |
Transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) are a risk factor for strokes. In ICD-10-AM, TIAs are classified with the diseases of nervous system (G codes) and, consequently, are not included in the stroke count or in the total of cardiovascular diseases (ie. I codes).
Haemorrhoids were classified as diseases of the circulatory system under ICD-10-AM Seventh edition (I84). In ICD-10-AM Eighth edition haemorrhoids are classified with diseases of the digestive system (K64). Consequently, haemorrhoids are not included in the total count of cardiovascular diseases.
Care should be taken when comparing data from different sources as only an intracranial haemorrhage (I60-I62) is considered a stroke in some reports while haemorrhage (I60-I62), cerebral infarction (I63) and stroke not specified as haemorrhage or infarction (I64) are included in this indicator.
