These chambers fibrillate, or quiver, rapidly. The result is a rapid and irregular pumping of blood through the heart. In some cases of AFib, the fibrillation of the atria causes the ventricles, or lower chambers of the heart, to beat too fast. This is called a rapid ventricular rate or response (RVR).
What is Afib with RVR? Some cases of Afib involve atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR). This is when the rapid contractions of the atria make the ventricles beat too quickly. If the ventricles beat too fast, they can't receive enough blood.
ICD-10 | Ventricular tachycardia (I47. 2)
I49. 01 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 I49.
The code for “atrial fibrillation with RVR” is I48. 91 Unspecified atrial fibrillation.
Sinus tach and most SVTs have only one P wave for each QRS complex. They may or may not be buried in the preceding T waves. But there are other supra-ventricular tachycardias that have more than one P wave for each QRS or no P waves. Atrial fibrillation has no P waves.
Recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia is one of the late complications following recovery from myocardial infarction. Our definition of “sustained” ventricular tachycardia relates to episodes which necessitate either cardioversion or parenteral medication for termination.
Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that make the lower chambers of your heart twitch instead of pump. This can limit or stop your heart from supplying blood to your body. While some of these arrhythmias are harmless and don't cause symptoms, some can have serious — or even deadly — effects on your body.
