  • ICD-9-CM 425.3 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 425.3 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

Clinical Information
  • A condition characterized by the thickening of endocardium due to proliferation of fibrous and elastic tissue, usually in the left ventricle leading to impaired cardiac function (cardiomyopathy, restrictive). It is most commonly seen in young children and rarely in adults. It is often associated with congenital heart anomalies (heart defects congenital;) infection; or gene mutation. Defects in the tafazzin protein, encoded by taz gene, result in a form of autosomal dominant familial endocardial fibroelastosis
  • A rare disorder characterized by diffuse thickening of the endocardium. It presents with unexplained heart failure
  • Condition characterized by hypertrophy of the wall of the left ventricle and conversion of the endocardium into a thick fibroelastic coat, with the capacity of the ventricle sometimes reduced, but often increased
Applies To

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 425.3 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services. Can't find a code?
