Atrial Fibrillation is an irregular (often rapid) heartbeat which may lead to blood clot in the heart and travel to other parts of the body and make blocks. Afib itself is not fatal but it is critical when it leads to stroke or heart failure. Hence Afib needs to be managed.
Physician finds out Afib by checking the signs and symptoms and physical examination.
There are different types of afib based on how long it lasts. Persistent – Lasts more than 7 days and it needs an intervention to restore the rhythm. Chronic (Permanent) – Chronic stays more than 12 months and it is called permanent when the abnormal heart rhythm cannot be restored.
Common symptoms occur are palpitation, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness and reduced ability to exercise.
I48.91 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified atrial fibrillation. The code I48.91 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code I48.91 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like accelerated atrioventricular conduction, atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrillation and flutter, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, atrial flutter , controlled atrial fibrillation, etc.#N#The code is commonly used in family practice, internal medicine , cardiology medical specialties to specify clinical concepts such as other forms of heart disease.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like I48.91 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.#N#The code I48.91 is linked to some Quality Measures as part of Medicare's Quality Payment Program (QPP). When this code is used as part of a patient's medical record the following Quality Measures might apply: Atrial Fibrillation And Atrial Flutter: Chronic Anticoagulation Therapy.
Doctors diagnose AF using family and medical history, a physical exam, and a test called an electrocardiogram (EKG), which looks at the electrical waves your heart makes. Treatments include medicines and procedures to restore normal rhythm.
Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION -. abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart heart atria. in such case blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart heart ventricles. it is caused by abnormal impulse generation.
An arrhythmia is a problem with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia. The cause is a disorder in the heart's electrical system. Often, people who have AF may not even feel symptoms.
AF can lead to an increased risk of stroke. In many patients, it can also cause chest pain, heart attack, or heart failure. Doctors diagnose AF using family and medical history, a physical exam, and a test called an electrocardiogram (EKG), which looks at the electrical waves your heart makes.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I48.91 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.
