Pre-excitation describes the electrical phenomena occurring in the heart and seen on ECG in some cases due to the presence of an AP. When there is an associated tachyarrhythmia due to the presence of an AP or in patients who experience symptoms due to the AP, this disorder is termed pre-excitation syndrome (PES).

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome – WPW (ICD-10: I45)
Essential (primary) hypertension: I10 That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
manifestation codes[ ] Brackets are used in the Tabular List to enclose synonyms, alternative wording, or explanatory wording. Brackets are used in the alphabetic Index to identify manifestation codes.
In Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, an extra electrical pathway between your heart's upper chambers and lower chambers causes a rapid heartbeat. In Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, an extra signaling pathway between the heart's upper and lower chambers causes a fast heartbeat (tachycardia).
WPW pattern is a constellation of electrocardiographic findings, so initial evaluation relies on a surface electrocardiogram. The ECG will show a short PR interval (<120 ms), prolonged QRS complex (>120 ms), and a QRS morphology consisting of a slurred delta wave.
Bundle of Kent is an abnormal pathway present in a small percentage of the general population that results in a condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW). The anatomic substrate is a band of myocytes that bridges the fibrous junction between the atrium and the ventricle.
For hypertension documented as accelerated or malignant (not hypertensive crisis, urgency, or emergency), look to category I10 Essential (primary) hypertension. ICD-10-CM instructions tell us when reporting from category I16, we should, “Code also any identified hypertensive disease (I10-I15).
I16. 0 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 I16.
Code I10 is the diagnosis code used for Essential (Primary) Hypertension. It is a disorder characterized by a pathological increase in blood pressure.
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia.
The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, which causes an irregular and fast heart beat. Many factors can affect your heart's rhythm, such as having had a heart attack, smoking, congenital heart defects, and stress. Some substances or medicines may also cause arrhythmias.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I45.6:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I45.6 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
