ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 9: Circulatory Cases

Chapter 9 of the code book contains more combination codes than any other, and they are the reason circulatory records go wrong. Hypertension is quietly absorbed by codes that do not have the word in them. Heart attacks change code after four weeks. Strokes leave behind conditions coded in a separate category entirely. This book covers all of it, with the chains that reach into three other chapters.

The ten chapters:

1. Hypertension

2. The matrix

3. Secondary and crisis

4. Heart failure

5. The full chain

6. Angina and coronary disease

7. The four-week rule

8. Atrial fibrillation

9. Stroke and what it leaves behind

10. Clots

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour, with a two-page Coding Lab that works a full record step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
