+*This code is for V-tach --- and it includes Torsades de Pointes, which is a specific form of V-tach
+*Code it only if there is ECG (or rhythm strip) evidence for it's presence.
+**i.e. if suspected but was not caught and thus demonstrated on ECG, then instead code '''[[Cardiac arrhythmia, NOS]]'''
+*It can be intermittent, or prolonged
+*If it occurred during the admission, code it whether or not it is being treated.
 == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==
+*[[Hypomagnesemia, severe or symptomatic]]
