Additional Info

The following came straight from the old Tachyarrythmias article. Do they still make sense in the case of fibrillation? Isn't that much more severe? Ttenbergen 22:41, 2017 November 11 (CST) AG REPLY -- I thought I already answered this. ICD10 codes are diagnoses. Not every diagnosis is TREATED. Thus any prior requirement that to code an arrythmia it needs to be treated is NOT going to go forward in ICD10. This isn't about ICD10 per se, but rather about the fact that it never made sense to insist that we'd only code a thing if it was treated. While rare there are some good reasons not to treat tachyarrythmias, not the least of which is palliative status. THUS TINA -- for any/all arrythmias that say the things below, please remove them.
