I49. 9 converts to ICD-9-CM: 427.9 - Cardiac dysrhythmia, unspecified.
ICD-10 Code for Cardiac arrhythmia, unspecified- I49. 9- Codify by AAPC.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I49. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I49.
Assign I49. 8 Other specified cardiac arrhythmia for ventricular bigeminy. [Effective 14 August 2009, ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS 6th Ed.]
It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern.
What is Dysrhythmia? Cardiac dysrhythmias are a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat caused by changes in your heart's normal sequence of electrical impulses. Your heart may beat too quickly, called tachycardia; too slowly, bradycardia; or with an irregular pattern.
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm is a ventricular rhythm with a rate of between 40 and 120 beats per minute. Idioventricular means “relating to or affecting the cardiac ventricle alone” and refers to any ectopic ventricular arrhythmia.
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR) is a ventricular rhythm consisting of three or more consecutive monomorphic beats, with gradual onset and gradual termination. It can rarely manifest in patients with completely normal hearts or with structural heart disease.
Idioventricular Rhythm (IVR) When Idioventricular Rhythm has a rate greater than 40 bpm it is referred to as Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm or AIVR.
Atrial bigeminy is a sinus rhythm that occurs when every other beat is a premature atrial contraction (PAC). Clinical Significance. Atrial bigeminy is a manifestation of PACs; therefore, in most cases it is a harmless rhythm.
If you have bigeminy (bi-JEM-uh-nee), your heart doesn't beat in a normal pattern. After every routine beat, you have a beat that comes too early, or what's known as a premature ventricular contraction (PVC).
Symptoms of bigeminy Bigeminy happens when a regular heartbeat is interrupted by a skipped, or extra, heartbeat known as a premature ventricular contraction (PVC).
As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use this equivalent ICD-10-CM code, which is an exact match to ICD-9 code 427.9:
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
427.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of cardiac dysrhythmia, unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
