ICD-10-CM Code I47.0
Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.I47.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of re-entry ventricular arrhythmia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code I470 is used to code Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia
Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia is a type of paroxysmal tachycardia occurring in the ventricle where the cause of the arrhythmia is due to the electric signal not completing the normal circuit, but rather an alternative circuit looping back upon itself. There develops a self-perpetuating rapid and abnormal activation. ("Circus Movement" is another term for this.) Conditions necessary for reentry include a combination of unidirectional block and slowed conduction. Circus movement may also occur on a smaller scale within the AV node (dual AV nodal physiology), a large bypass tract is not necessary.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
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 I47.0 and a single ICD9 code, 427.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
