Z45.08: Adjustment and management of other cardiac devices
The settings of a device on your heart have been checked or adjusted.
The heart pumps blood through the body. In the process, the blood flows through blood vessels. The blood supplies all areas of the body with oxygen and nutrients. Your heart is probably not working properly. Because of that, you have a device that assists your heart.
Such a device must be precisely tailored to you and your heart. For this reason, certain settings have been checked or adjusted.
