Short description: Cardiac dysrhythmia NOS. ICD-9-CM 427.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 427.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
Code will be replaced by October 2015 and relabeled as ICD-10-CM 427.89. The Short Description Is: Cardiac dysrhythmias NEC.
A heart arrhythmia may not cause any noticeable symptoms and may be identified only during a routine medical exam.
The following studies may be performed to aid in diagnosing arrhythmia: electrocardiogram, Holter monitor, event monitor, echocardiogram, cardiac CT, MRI, stress test, tilt table test, and electrophysiologic study.

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.
9 Cardiac arrhythmia, unspecified.
427.1The appropriate ICD‐9 code for ventricular tachycardia is 427.1 (HCC 96), Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, (with or without documentation of “paroxysmal”).
What is ventricular fibrillation? Ventricular fibrillation (sometimes called v-fib for short) is an arrhythmia, a malfunction of the heart's normal pumping sequence. It is the most common deadly arrhythmia.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT or V-tach) is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when the lower chamber of the heart beats too fast to pump well and the body doesn't receive enough oxygenated blood.
A heart arrhythmia (uh-RITH-me-uh) is an irregular heartbeat. Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical signals that coordinate the heart's beats don't work properly. The faulty signaling causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or irregularly.
ICD-10 code R00. 0 for Tachycardia, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10-CM Code for Supraventricular tachycardia I47. 1.
I48.20Chronic atrial fibrillation, unspecified I48. 20 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 I48. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
with paroxysmal tachyarrhythmia or tachycardia 427.81
For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in heart rate, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction
lightheadedness or dizziness. chest pain. shortness of breath . sweating . your doctor can run tests to find out if you have an arrhythmia. Treatment to restore a normal heart rhythm may include medicines, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (icd) or pacemaker, or sometimes surgery.
acute (see also Infarct, myocardium) 410.9
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia.
If not treated promptly, sustained ventricular tachycardia may progress into ventricular fibrillation. • Ventricular fibrillation (427.41) is rapid, chaotic electrical impulses causing the ventricles to fibrillate ineffectively so they fail to pump blood.
If symptoms are present, they may include tachycardia (fast heartbeat), bradycardia (slow heartbeat), palpitations or skipped beats, fluttering in chest, chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, weakness or fatigue, syncope or near syncope, paleness, or sweating.
If the SVT is documented as paroxysmal, then code 427.0 is assigned. However, if only SVT is documented, then code 427.89 is assigned. Paroxysmal means the arrhythmia begins and ends suddenly. If the documentation is unclear, the physician may need to be queried for clarification.
Atrial fibrillation may be considered paroxysmal (lasting for a short time) or an ongoing, chronic condition. • Atrial flutter (427.32) is caused by one or more rapid circuits in the atrium. It is more organized and regular than atrial fibrillation and often becomes atrial fibrillation or may be present with such.
Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in heart rate, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
Any variation from the normal rate or rhythm (which may include the origin of the impulse and/or its subsequent propagation) in the heart.
