Cardiac arrest, cause unspecified

BILLABLE
Billable Code

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

I46.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cardiac arrest, cause unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code I469 is used to code Pulseless electrical activity

Pulseless electrical activity or PEA (also known by the older term electromechanical dissociation) refers to a clinical diagnosis of cardiac arrest in which a heart rhythm is observed on the electrocardiogram that should be producing a pulse, but is not. Under normal circumstances, electrical activation of muscle cells precedes mechanical contraction of the heart (known as electromechanical coupling). In PEA, there is electrical activity, but the heart either does not contract or there are other reasons this results in an insufficient cardiac output to generate a pulse and supply blood to the organs.

Cardiac arrest (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I46.9 and a single ICD9 code, 427.5 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
