Low QRS voltage (LQRSV), defined as QRS complex amplitudes of <0.5 mV in all frontal leads and/or <1.0 mV in all precordial leads, is present in about 1% to 2% of normal lean individuals.Feb 4, 2014
Low QRS voltage is a non-specific electrocardiographic finding in which the voltage (the height) of the QRS complexes is reduced.Oct 29, 2019
The QRS is said to be low voltage when: The amplitudes of all the QRS complexes in the limb leads are < 5 mm; or. The amplitudes of all the QRS complexes in the precordial leads are < 10 mm.Feb 3, 2021
Low voltage on the electrocardiogram is a marker of disease severity and a risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure due to systolic dysfunction.
I45. 4 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 I45. 4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Low voltage is defined as a QRS amplitude of 5 mm (0.5 mV) or less in all of the frontal plane leads and 10 mm (1.0 mV) or less in the precordial leads. Low voltage can be caused by three main factors: cardiac voltage generation, extracardiac transmission, and equipment-related issues.
Parts of an ECG The other six leads are considered “precordial leads” because they are placed on the torso (precordium). The six limb leads are called lead I, II, III, aVL, aVR and aVF. The letter “a” stands for “augmented,” as these leads are calculated as a combination of leads I, II and III.
In the absence of a pathological cause, low-voltage QRS in the ECG can be a normal variant, it can be caused by electrical malfunction of the recorder or cable connections, or it can be related to electrode misplacement and cable transposition.Jan 1, 2014
Anything with 50 volts or less is considered low voltage, and thus, wiring that is designed to carry less than 50 volts is considered low voltage wiring. It carries less power than what is typically found in the home – for example, most standard wall outlets are 120V or 240V.Dec 23, 2019
low voltage QRS complexes and electrical alternans. Low. voltage QRS complexes may be due to short-circuiting of. cardiac potentials by the pericardial fluid surrounding the. heart.
QRS complex: Duration less than or equal to 0.12 seconds, amplitude greater than 0.5 mV in at least one standard lead, and greater than 1.0 mV in at least one precordial lead. Upper limit of normal amplitude is 2.5 - 3.0 mV.

The R94.31 is what we use for the low QRS voltage. However, she insists on coding R94.31 even if there is atrial fibrillation as a first-code (which i disagree with). Atrial fibrillation is an acceptable dx for EKG reading and interpretation. Thanks!
First, code R94.31 is not appropriate to report when there is a definitive diagnosis given. See chapter specific guidelines. Secondly, are these diagnoses, i.e., I50.23 and I51.7, provided in the indications or on the order for the EKG? Because then they would be substantiated. I would review the order or indications for the diagnosis code, if not R94.31 might be your option.
