I49. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
If you have tachy-brady syndrome, also known as tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome, your heart fluctuates between beating too quickly (tachycardia) and too slowly (bradycardia). Our Cardiac Electrophysiology Program provides expert care for patients with heart rhythm problems such as this.
At least 50 percent of patients with sick sinus syndrome develop alternating bradycardia and tachycardia, also known as tachybrady syndrome. Sick sinus syndrome results from intrinsic causes, or may be exacerbated or mimicked by extrinsic factors.May 15, 2013
Tachy-brady syndrome is identified by bradycardia alternating with paroxysmal supraventricular arrhythmias, most frequently atrial fibrillation (AF). This results from abnormal automaticity and conduction within the atrial tissue. It affects at least 50% of patients with SND.Jul 21, 2021
Most cases of sick sinus syndrome are not inherited. They are described as sporadic, which means they occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family. When sick sinus syndrome results from mutations in the HCN4 gene, it has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.Aug 18, 2020
swiftTachy- is a combining form used like a prefix meaning “swift.” It is often used in scientific and medical terms. Tachy- comes from the Greek tachýs, meaning “swift.”
The mainstay of treatment is atrial or dual-chamber pacemaker placement, which generally provides effective relief of symptoms and lowers the incidence of atrial fibrillation, thromboembolic events, heart failure, and mortality, compared with ventricular pacemakers.Apr 15, 2003
You may need a permanent implanted pacemaker if your symptoms are related to bradycardia (slow heart rate). A fast heart rate (tachycardia) may be treated with medicine. Sometimes, a procedure called radiofrequency ablation is used to cure tachycardia.Jan 27, 2020
Overview. Sick sinus syndrome is the inability of the heart's natural pacemaker (sinus node) to create a heart rate that's appropriate for the body's needs. It causes irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Sick sinus syndrome is also known as sinus node dysfunction or sinus node disease.Mar 17, 2020

Sinoatrial block may be caused by impaired automaticity, impaired conduction, or both. These two mechanisms cannot be distinguished from each other without a direct recording of SA node activity.
The most common arrhythmia seen with WPW syndrome is supraventricular tachycardia. Supraventricular tachycardia causes episodes of a fast, pounding heartbeat that begin and end abruptly. Some people with WPW syndrome also have a fast and chaotic heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation.Jan 27, 2022
