You're more likely to get atrial fibrillation if you have:
The main danger with atrial flutter is that your heart doesn’t pump blood very well when it beats too fast. Vital organs like the heart muscle and brain may not get enough blood, which can cause them to fail. Congestive heart failure, heart attack, and stroke can result. With proper treatment, atrial flutter is rarely life-threatening.
ICD-10-CM Code for Ventricular flutter I49. 02.
I48ICD-10 code I48 for Atrial fibrillation and flutter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
I48. 92 - Unspecified atrial flutter. ICD-10-CM.
R00. 2 - Palpitations | ICD-10-CM.
Atrial flutter is a type of heart rhythm disorder in which the heart's upper chambers (atria) beat too quickly. In atrial flutter, the heart's upper chambers (atria) beat too quickly. This causes the heart to beat in a fast, but usually regular, rhythm.
Normally, the top chambers (atria) contract and push blood into the bottom chambers (ventricles). In atrial fibrillation, the atria beat irregularly. In atrial flutter, the atria beat regularly, but faster than usual and more often than the ventricles, so you may have four atrial beats to every one ventricular beat.
Unspecified atrial fibrillationThe code for “atrial fibrillation with RVR” is I48. 91 Unspecified atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a fancy name for an irregular heartbeat. When your heart's electrical signals aren't working right, it can lead to a heartbeat that's too fast. This abnormal heart rhythm is what doctors call atrial fibrillation, or AFib for short.
The definition of atypical atrial flutter includes a broad spectrum of other macroreentrant tachycardias in which the wave front does not travel around the tricuspid annulus.
Paroxysmal AFib are episodes of AFib that occur occasionally and usually stop spontaneously. Episodes can last a few seconds, hours or a few days before stopping and returning to normal sinus rhythm, which is the heart's normal rhythm. Some people may have single episodes of AFib.

Ventricular fibrillation is the most commonly identified arrhythmia in cardiac arrest patients. While there is some activity, the lay person is usually unable to detect it by palpating (feeling) the major pulse points of the carotid and femoral arteries. Such an arrhythmia is only confirmed by electrocardiography.
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is a condition in which there is uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles in the heart, making them quiver rather than contract properly. Ventricular fibrillation is the most commonly identified arrhythmia in cardiac arrest patients.
I49.02 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of ventricular flutter. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
If the patient is not revived after a sufficient period (within roughly 5 minutes at room temperature), the patient could sustain irreversible brain damage and possibly become brain-dead, due to the effects of cerebral hypoxia.
Such an arrhythmia is only confirmed by electrocardiography. Ventricular fibrillation is a medical emergency that requires prompt Advanced Life Support interventions. If this arrhythmia continues for more than a few seconds, it will likely degenerate further into asystole ("flatline").
