[Karen Wheeler]

This was a question on a free practice exam I took and was wondering how you would answer this question.
I choose Trevor however they said it is a Taylor

5. You have been assigned to code the cases listed below. Which one will you appropriately
assign to 402, Hypertensive Heart Disease?

Mallory: left heart failure with benign hypertension
Emma: congestive heart failure; hypertension
Taylor: hypertensive cardiovascular disease with congestive heart failure
Trevor: cardiomegaly with hypertension

a. Mallory
b. Emma
c. Taylor
d. Trevor

I pick Taylor because Cardiomegaly is not a heart disease rather a heart condition. This is a great question.
