Orthopnea is not hereditary. It is a symptom of a disease.
The suffix of orthopnea is "-pnea," which means breathing or respiration.
786.02 is the ICD9 for orthopnea.
Orthopnea is a symptom, not a procedure. It can have an ICD9 code but not a CPT code.
When one has orthopnea, one has a shortness of breath whenever one lays on a flat surface. Orthopnea causes dyspnea and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea.

The ICD9 for orthopnea is 786.02. The chest x-ray would have a CPT code.
