    Other cardiac arrhythmias
Clinical Information
  • A group of cardiac arrhythmias in which the cardiac contractions are not initiated at the sinoatrial node. They include both atrial and ventricular premature beats, and are also known as extra or ectopic heartbeats. Their frequency is increased in heart diseases.
ICD-10-CM I49.49 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
