ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, a medical classification list by the World Health Organization. It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. Work on ICD-10 began in 1983, became endorsed by the Forty-third World Health Assembly in 1990, and was first used by member states in 1994. It was replaced by ICD-11 on J
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
What are the risk factors for AFib?
ICD-10 code Z86. 79 for Personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

Chronic AFib is a nonspecific term that could be referring to paroxysmal, persistent, long-standing persistent, or permanent AFib. Since code I48. 2 is nonspecific, code I48. 1 is a more appropriate code assignment.
Other specified postprocedural statesICD-10 code Z98. 89 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

AF successfully controlled by cardiac ablation alone (not requiring antiarrhythmic medications) should be reported using code Z86. 79 (history of AF). If cardiac ablation for AF was performed and the patient still requires medication to prevent recurrences, the diagnosis should be AF and not “history of AF”.
AFIB Ablation ICD 10 If the patient has had an ablation for paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation, it will be under code 148.91 now that the patient is in sinus rhythm. If the condition is no longer present or therapy is required, the follow-up code Z09 would be used.
Overview. Atrial fibrillation ablation is a treatment for an irregular and chaotic heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (A-fib). It uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart to block the faulty electrical signals and restore a typical heartbeat.
There are different types of afib based on how long it lasts. Persistent – Lasts more than 7 days and it needs an intervention to restore the rhythm. Chronic (Permanent) – Chronic stays more than 12 months and it is called permanent when the abnormal heart rhythm cannot be restored.
Tests to be used to detect Afib are electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, holter monitor, stress test and chest X-ray. Afib can be managed with anti-arrhythmic or anticoagulant drugs. Even after doing ablation procedure to correct Afib there may be need of medication.
Atrial Fibrillation is an irregular (often rapid) heartbeat which may lead to blood clot in the heart and travel to other parts of the body and make blocks. Afib itself is not fatal but it is critical when it leads to stroke or heart failure. Hence Afib needs to be managed.
