Approximate Synonyms
- Bradycardia tachycardia syndrome
- Sinus node dysfunction
- Tachycardia-bradycardia
Clinical Information
- A condition caused by dysfunctions related to the sinoatrial node including impulse generation (cardiac sinus arrest) and impulse conduction (sinoatrial exit block). It is characterized by persistent bradycardia, chronic atrial fibrillation, and failure to resume sinus rhythm following cardioversion. This syndrome can be congenital or acquired, particularly after surgical correction for heart defects.
- A constellation of signs and symptoms which may include syncope, fatigue, dizziness, and alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia, which is caused by sinoatrial node dysfunction.
- A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia accompanied by syncope, fatigue and dizziness.
ICD-10-CM I49.5 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
