Tachycardia, unspecified
Ventricular tachycardia. I47.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I47.2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I47.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 I47.2 may differ.

ICD-10-CM Code for Tachycardia, unspecified R00. 0.
In ICD‐10, sinus tachycardia leads to code R00. 0 (no HCC), Tachycardia unspecified, unless documented as “paroxysmal” which then leads to code I47. 1 (HCC 96), PSVT. Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heart rate in the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles.

Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) occurs when the heart beats very quickly without a good reason. It is a type of heart rhythm abnormality called an arrhythmia. Tachycardia is the medical term for a fast heart rate.

ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
In tachycardia, an irregular electrical signal (impulse) starting in the upper or lower chambers of the heart causes the heart to beat faster. Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh) is the medical term for a heart rate over 100 beats a minute. Many types of irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) can cause tachycardia.

SVT is always more symptomatic than sinus tach. Sinus tachycardia has a rate of 100 to 150 beats per minute and SVT has a rate of 151 to 250 beats per minute. With sinus tach, the P waves and T waves are separate. With SVT, they are together.
A normal heartbeat begins with an electrical impulse from the sinus node, a single point in the heart's right atrium (right upper chamber). During atrial tachycardia, an electrical impulse outside the sinus node fires repeatedly, often due to a short circuit — a circular electrical pathway.
Sinus tachycardia is recognized on an ECG with a normal upright P wave in lead II preceding every QRS complex. This indicates that the pacemaker is coming from the sinus node and not elsewhere in the atria, with an atrial rate of greater than 100 beats per minute.
A condition caused by dysfunctions related to the sinoatrial node including impulse generation (cardiac sinus arrest) and impulse conduction (sinoatrial exit block). It is characterized by persistent bradycardia, chronic atrial fibrillation, and failure to resume sinus rhythm following cardioversion. This syndrome can be congenital or acquired, particularly after surgical correction for heart defects.
A constellation of signs and symptoms which may include syncope, fatigue, dizziness, and alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia, which is caused by sinoatrial node dysfunction.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I49.5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with abrupt onset and sudden termination of atrial contractions with a rate of 150-250 beats per minute. The rhythm disturbance originates in the atria.
Tachyarrhythmia originating either from the atria or the atrioventricular node.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I47.1 became effective on October 1 , 2021.
An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the bundle of his, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide qrs complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (av dissociation).
A cardiac rhythm characterized by 3 or more consecutive complexes in duration emanating from the ventricles at a rate of >100 bpm (cycle length: <600 ms).

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a faster heart rate in the atria, caused by electrical impulses in the atria firing abnormally. Supraventricular tachycardia includes atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular tachycardia, atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, junctional tachycardia, and nodal tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia (Vtach) occurs when there is a fast heart rate in the ventricles, which can be life threatening and cause cardiac arrest. Example: The cardiologist is called to the emergency department. A 60-year-old male, was rushed to the ED after a skydive jump.
Re-entry ventricular tachycardia occurs due to electrical difficulties in the heart.
Atrial flutter describes a condition in which the electrical signal travels along a pathway within the right atrium. It moves in an organized circular motion, or “ circuit,” causing the atria to beat faster than the ventricles. Clinical documentation should include the type of tachycardia (re-entry, ventricular, etc.).
Tachycardia typically means a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. Symptoms of tachycardia include dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and more.
SVT is the most common type of arrhythmia in children. Example: An 8-year-old boy is brought in by his parents with complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue for one month. Upon examination his heart rate was 160 BPM. Labs and ECG are performed and he is diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia.
