Introduction The circulatory (cardiovascular) system includes the heart, arteries, and veins and has the job of circulating blood to carry oxygen to cells throughout the body and waste products away from those cells. 12-7

Circulatory System Anatomy The center of your body is the heart. The heart is divided into four chambers: –Right atrium –Left atrium –Right ventricle –Left ventricle Learning Outcome:

Cardiovascular Dysfunction Circulatory conditions affect the flow of blood and, therefore, the delivery of oxygen. Older individuals are more susceptible to such conditions. Learning Outcome:

Signs and Symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease There are many disorders that affect the cardiovascular system. Frequently seen conditions: Angina (angina pectoris) Cardiac arrest Dyspnea Dysrhythmia or arrhythmia Edema Learning Outcome:

Hypotension and Hypertension Blood pressure is the force with which blood travels through the veins and arteries. Hypotension = low blood pressure –Can result in organs and tissue cells being unable to function –Lightheadedness and dizziness can occur Learning Outcome:

Hypertension = high blood pressure –Force of the pressure can actually damage organs and tissues as the blood rushes through Learning Outcome:

Systolic pressure (SP)—measure of the maximum push of blood being forced into an artery from the ventricle during a cardiac contraction. Top number of a reported blood pressure. Learning Outcome:

Diastolic pressure (DP)—measure of the pressure of blood left in the arteries in between ventricular contractions. Bottom number of a reported blood pressure. Learning Outcome:

Hypertension versus Elevated Blood Pressure The physician must specifically state the diagnosis of hypertension. The patient may simply have elevated blood pressure with no diagnosis of hypertension (code R03.0) rather than the actual chronic disorder of hypertension. Learning Outcome:

CVA and Cerebral Infarction Cerebrovascular accident (CVA)— rupture of a blood vessel causing hemorrhaging in the brain or an embolus in a blood vessel in the brain causing loss of blood flow; also known as stroke.

Cerebral Infarction—an area of dead tissue (necrosis) in the brain caused by a blocked or ruptured blood vessel. Infarction—tissue or muscle that has deteriorated or died (necrotic).

ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)—heart event during which the coronary artery is completely blocked by a thrombus or embolus. Nontransmural myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) indicates that only a portion of the artery is blocked. Learning Outcome:

Deep Vein Thrombosis Deep vein thrombi can block blood flow. Reporting a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) will require you to know: –Is the condition identified as acute or chronic? –Where (the specific anatomical site) has the thrombus been located?

Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease (ACAD) Atherosclerosis, also known as arteriosclerosis, is a stricture or stenosis of an artery. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the collection of plaque specifically within the coronary arteries; the heart becomes oxygen-deprived. Learning Outcome:

Sequelae of Cerebrovascular Disease The sequelae of cerebrovascular disease are coded differently from other sequelae. ICD-10-CM provides a series of combination codes in category I69.

Atrial fibrillation—a condition in which the atria, instead of contracting to push blood through to the ventricles, shudders or trembles. Results in incomplete emptying of the atria, leaving blood to collect and sometimes clot. Code I48.2, Chronic atrial fibrillation. Learning Outcome:
