Poisn by cardi-stim glycos/drug simlar act, slf-hrm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an intentional overdose or self-poisoning with cardiac-stimulant glycosides, such as digoxin. These substances directly impact heart function, and sequelae can include chronic arrhythmias, persistent heart failure, or other lasting cardiovascular damage.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing health issues directly attributable to a past intentional self-harm event involving cardiac glycosides. This is used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, and the patient is being treated for the residual effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic atrial fibrillation).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional self-harm poisoning.
• Verify the substance involved was specifically a cardiac-stimulant glycoside or drug of similar action.
