The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group I06 includes chronic rheumatic aortic valve conditions such as rheumatic aortic stenosis, rheumatic aortic insufficiency, and combined aortic valve lesions resulting from prior rheumatic fever. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document chronic valvular dysfunction of the aortic valve, capturing severity, valve involvement, and related cardiac complications such as heart failure or arrhythmia.
