What is the treatment for ventricular fibrillation?

Key points about ventricular fibrillation

• Ventricular fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, that affects your heart’s ventricles.
• Ventricular fibrillation is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
• CPR and defibrillation can restore your heart to its normal rhythm and may be life saving.

What are causes of ventricular fibrillation?

V-fib can have several root causes, including:

• Insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle
• Damage to the heart muscle (from a heart attack, for example)
• Cardiomyopathy
• Problems with the aorta
• Drug toxicity
• Sepsis (severe body infection)

What does ventricular fibrillation stand for?

What does VF and VT stand for? Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) are life-threatening cardiac rhythms that result in ineffective ventricular contractions. VF (Figure 24) is a rapid quivering of the ventricular walls that prevents them from pumping.

Which is more serious atrial or ventricular fibrillation?

VF vs AF: Ventricular is lethal instantly. A fib is not lethal and treated with medications or ablation. Bottom vs. Top: Ventricular fibrillation is from the bottom chamber; vf is worse; it usually causes cardiac arrest which is often fatal.

What is the ICD-10 code for V fib?

I49. 01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

What is the ICD-10 code for ventricular tachycardia?

What is the ICD-10 DX code for rhythm change?

What is the ICD-10 code for rapid ventricular response?

The code for “atrial fibrillation with RVR” is I48. 91 Unspecified atrial fibrillation. “RVR” is not a type or subtype of AF.

What is ventricular arrhythmia?

Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that make the lower chambers of your heart twitch instead of pump. This can limit or stop your heart from supplying blood to your body. While some of these arrhythmias are harmless and don't cause symptoms, some can have serious — or even deadly — effects on your body.

What is sustained ventricular tachycardia?

Sustained VT is when the arrhythmia lasts for more than 30 seconds, otherwise the VT is called nonsustained. The rapid heartbeat doesn't give your heart enough time to fill with blood before it contracts again. This can affect blood flow to the rest of your body.

What is a non sustained VT episode?

Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) has been one of the most common challenges in clinical cardiology. It is generally defined as 3 or more consecutive beats arising below the atrioventricular node with a rate >120 beats/min and lasting less than 30 s.
