Z95.1 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 Z95.1 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z95.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z95.1 may differ. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
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.
Vfib is 427.41 and Cardiac arrest is 427.5 and when I pulled the patients records they did have cardiac arrest in 2007. Would I use both of these codes or just use the vfib code? Or maybe there is another code that I should be using... Can someone point me in the right direction?!

ICD-10-CM Code for Ventricular flutter I49. 02.
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.
In ICD‐ 10, ventricular tachycardia leads to code I47. 2 (HCC 96), Ventricular tachycardia.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I48 I48.
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. When it happens, the lower chambers of your heart quiver or twitch instead of completely expanding and squeezing.
Vfib is rapid totally incoordinate contraction of ventricular fibers; the EKG shows chaotic electrical activity and clinically the patient has no pulse. Vtach is defined by QRS greater than or equal to . 12 secs and a rate of greater than or equal to 100 beats per minute.
In ICD-10-CM the codes would be I47. 2, ventricular tachycardia, and code I46. 9, Cardiac arrest, unspecified.
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a condition where your heart suddenly beats much faster than normal. It's not usually serious, but some people may need treatment.
What is Afib with RVR? Some cases of Afib involve atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR). This is when the rapid contractions of the atria make the ventricles beat too quickly. If the ventricles beat too fast, they can't receive enough blood. So they can't meet the body's need for oxygenated blood.
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. A-fib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an irregular heart rhythm that begins in your heart's upper chambers (atria). Symptoms include fatigue, heart palpitations, trouble breathing and dizziness. Afib is one of the most common arrhythmias.
Heart attack is the most common cause of ventricular arrhythmia, but it can also occur during heart surgery or as a result of cardiomyopathy or a genetic heart rhythm disorder, such as long QT syndrome or Brugada syndrome. Ventricular fibrillation can also be caused by recreational drug use, including cocaine.
Symptoms of arrhythmias include palpitations, feeling dizzy, fainting and being short of breath, although having these symptoms does not always mean you have a heart rhythm problem.
Ventricular tachycardia most often occurs when the heart muscle has been damaged and scar tissue creates abnormal electrical pathways in the ventricles. Causes include: Heart attack. Cardiomyopathy or heart failure.
The most serious arrhythmia is ventricular fibrillation, which is an uncontrolled, irregular beat. Instead of one misplaced beat from the ventricles, you may have several impulses that begin at the same time from different locations—all telling the heart to beat.
I49.01 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of ventricular fibrillation. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

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.
The ICD code I490 is used to code Ventricular fibrillation. 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.
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").
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z45.02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z45.02 is not usually sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.

Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
Arrhythmia characterized by fibrillary contractions of the ventricular muscle due to rapid repetitive excitation of myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the ventricle.
An arrhythmia characterized by an irregular pattern of high or low-amplitude waves that cannot be differentiated into qrs complexes or t waves. These electrocardiographic waves occur as a result of fibrillary contractions of the ventricular muscle due to rapid repetitive excitation of myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the ventricle.
A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia without discernible qrs complexes due to rapid repetitive excitation of myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the ventricles.
A cardiac rhythm characterized by rapid, usually more than 300 bpm (cycle length: 180 ms or less), grossly irregular ventricular rhythm with marked variability in qrs cycle length, morphology, and amplitude.
