that may be applicable to
I49.02:
- A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia characterized by an extremely rapid, hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (150-300 beats/min) with a large oscillating sine-wave appearance. If untreated, ventricular flutter typically progresses to ventricular fibrillation.
- A ventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized by a high ventricular rate (180 and 250 beats per minute) with a regular rhythm. The electrocardiogram shows large oscillating sine wave-like complexes occurring as a result of qrs complexes and t waves being merged. The p wave is not visible.
- A ventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized electrocardiographically by smooth undulating waves with qrs complexes merged with t waves, a rate of approximately 250 per minute.
ICD-10-CM I49.02 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
- 308 Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with mcc
- 309 Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with cc
- 310 Cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders without cc/mcc
- 791 Prematurity with major problems
- 793 Full term neonate with major problems
