Hope you can help me with this note's Dx codes. Here goes:

He has an extensive cardiac history including CAD w/PTCA 5 years ago and CABG 2 years ago; HTN, MI 3 years ago, CHF, and A-Fib. He is currently on Lasix, Digoxin, Coumadin, Hydrocholorothiazide, and Nitroglcycerin. Work up revealed, Dx: Acute CHF.

Also, how would you sequence the Dx codes?

Thank you ahead of time for the help. :D
 
All the others appear to be history of. Is the only dx Acute CHF? IF so, 428.0 since he is not indicating if Diastolic or Systolic.
