What is a repolarization abnormality? Repolarization can be influenced by many factors, including electrolyte shifts, ischemia, structural heart disease (cardiomyopathy) and (recent) arrhythmias. Although T/U wave abnormalities are rarely specific for one disease, it can be useful to know which conditions can change repolarization.
The term “early repolarization” was used to describe the ECG pattern. Indeed, the ECG gives the impression that repolarization starts earlier than normal in these patients.
Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG] R94.31 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R94.31 became effective on October 1, 2020.
This is a rather large increase in relative risk, but the absolute risk is still very low among most patients with early repolarization. Readers not familiar with the terms absolute and relative risk may be confused by the previous paragraph.

ICD-10 code I47. 2 for Ventricular tachycardia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Ventricular fusion beats: Fusion beats are QRS complexes that may be formed from the fusion of an impulse originating in the ventricle with an impulse originating in the atria and traveling down the AV node and His-Purkinje system.
Ventricular premature depolarization (VPD)-induced cardiomyopathy is a condition in which frequent ventricular ectopic impulses result in left ventricular (LV) dysfunction leading to systolic heart failure (HF) [1–3].
What is ventricular pacing? Ventricular pacing refers to the electrical stimulation provided to the ventricles of the heart by a pacemaker. It's intended to regulate the heart rate in individuals with abnormally slow heart rhythm.
ICD-10 code I49. 9 for Cardiac arrhythmia, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Description. Premature atrial complexes (PACs) are supraventricular ectopic depolarizations originating in or near the atria or in the pulmonary veins that supersede activation from the sinus node.
Atrial premature complexes (APCs) are a common kind of heart arrhythmia characterized by premature heartbeats originating in the atria. Another name for atrial premature complexes is premature atrial contractions. One of the most common symptoms of APCs is heart palpitations or unusual awareness of your heartbeats.
Because early repolarization is common and studies suggest that it is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death, it is important that health care providers are able to recognize the ECG pattern. Failure to do so may lead to unnecessary referrals, examinations and interventions.
In a seminal paper published in 2008 by Haïssaguerre et al it was reported that early repolarization was associated with 3–5 times as great a risk of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest.
The term “early repolarization” was used to describe the ECG pattern. Indeed, the ECG gives the impression that repolarization starts earlier than normal in these patients. However, it is still unknown whether that is actually the case; i.e repolarization may actually not start earlier than normal, despite the ECG appearance.
The genetic basis of the condition proceeds from the fact that early repolarization pattern, as well as syndrome, is more frequent among relatives of individuals with early repolarization, as compared with control persons. Mutations in KCNJ8, SCN5A, among other genes, have been reported in patients with early repolarization.
Early repolarization pattern on ECG does not require any treatment. Treatment with ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) may be considered in patients who have experienced ventricular fibrillation or sudden cardiac arrest.
