This can be due to ischemia caused by blockage (thrombosis, arterial embolism), or a hemorrhage.Diagnostic imaging can identify the cause.

• We do not code paralysis or hemiplegia with the CVA.
• We do not code CVA and deconditioning 2nd to CVA together in the admit diagnosis.
• If the CVA is acute then put it in the admit diagnosis.
• If the patient came in to another unit with an acute CVA but then is transfered to your ward to recover use the code deconditioning secondary to CVA.

Template:Discussion Trish do you want to give us a time frame for acute CVA.? Let us know please.
