This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.

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 arrythmia, NOS
It can be intermittent, or prolonged
If it occurred during the admission, code it whether or not it is being treated.

	The following came straight from the old Tachyarrythmias article. Do they still make sense in the case of the new code? AG REPLY --- Note I've removed the requirement that there be treatment for it.
