TdP triggers in congenital LQTS
Long QT syndrome is an inherited heart problem that affects how your heart beats. In some people, this can cause fainting or fits (seizures). Symptoms of long QT syndrome. Some people with long QT syndrome do not have any symptoms. They may only become aware of their condition after having an electrocardiogram (ECG) for another reason.
What does a prolonged QT interval mean? In long QT syndrome, your heart's electrical system takes longer than normal to recharge between beats. This delay, which often can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG), is called a prolonged QT interval. Long QT syndrome is often grouped into two main categories, depending on the cause.
The drug-induced long QT syndrome (diLQTS1) describes a clinical entity in which administration of a drug produces marked prolongation of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram, associated with the development of a morphologically distinctive polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, termed torsades de pointes (TdP).
The most potent QT-prolonging medications are antiarrhythmic agents, particularly amiodarone, dofetilide, quinidine, and sotalol, with quinidine possibly having the most torsadogenic potential.
ICD-10 code T88. 7 for Unspecified adverse effect of drug or medicament is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
QT interval prolongation is an irregularity of the electrical activity of the heart that places patients at risk for ventricular arrhythmias. Serious complications of drug-induced QT interval prolongation are rare; the identification of patients at risk may help to prevent these events.
Chloroquine and halofantrine can prolong the QT interval and have been linked to TdP. Halofantrine is the most potent agent with repolarization properties similar to quinidine and Class III antiarrhythmic agents [Wesche et al.

When coding an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug (T36-T50).
ICD-10-PCS GZ3ZZZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
An adverse effect occurs when a substance is taken according to direction, and a reaction occurs. Use additional codes for any manifestations of adverse effects. For example, a patient took an dose of penicillin that was prescribed correctly, but which resulted in projectile vomiting: the first code is T36.
QT interval is inversely correlated with heart rate. Generally, QT intervals are corrected for heart rate so that QTc is equal to QT if the heart rate is 60 beats per minute, i.e., RR interval of 1 s.
I45.81 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Long QT syndrome . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. Romano-Ward (prolonged QT interval) I45.81.
Andersen–Tawil syndrome, also called Andersen syndrome and Long QT syndrome 7, is a form of long QT syndrome. It is a rare genetic disorder, and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and predisposes patients to cardiac arrhythmias.

A new code, 426.82, has been created to identify long QT syndrome. Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder of the heart's electrical system characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG). It is associated with recurrent syncope and sudden death. A number of specified genetic defects have been identified as causes of the long QT syndrome, most of which involve genes for ion channels that control repolarization of the heart. It usually affects children or young adults. Other forms of LQTS include: Jervell-Lange-Nielsen syndrome, which involves congenital bilateral neural deafness; and Romano-Ward syndrome, which...
Treatment of long QT syndrome can involve monitoring, and potentially placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
