A left and right heart cath was performed with grafts (93461) - the physician states in the report that the patient has "grossly elevated right heart filling pressure." The patient does have CHF documented in the chart, however it is not listed in the cath report. The overall EF is estimated to be 10%. Do you think ICD 9 428.0 could be used for the elevated right heart filling pressure along with the low EF?
