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

This code indicates a long-term consequence or residual effect resulting from an intentional overdose or poisoning by cardiac glycosides or similar stimulant drugs, inflicted by another person. These substances, often used to treat heart conditions, can cause severe and lasting cardiac, neurological, or other systemic damage when misused.

Apply this code when documenting chronic health problems or permanent injuries directly attributable to a past assault involving cardiac-stimulant glycoside poisoning. This would include conditions like persistent arrhythmias, chronic heart failure, or neurological deficits that developed as a sequela of the initial poisoning event.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., I48.91 for chronic atrial fibrillation).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past assaultive poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for residual effects.
