Diseases of the Circulatory System·Ventricular tachycardia·subcategory·FY 2027
Arrhythmia: An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Changes in the electrical signals that control your heartbeat cause arrhythmias.

Instructional notes
Includes: conditions that are coded here
- Familial polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [FPVT]
Also applies, from I47: Paroxysmal tachycardia
These notes sit on I47 and apply to every code under it, including I47.22.
Excludes1: not coded here, use a different code
Where I47.22 sits
- I30-I5A Other forms of heart disease (I30-I5A)
- I47 Paroxysmal tachycardia
- I47.2 Ventricular tachycardia
- I47.22 Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [CPVT]
MS-DRGs
As the principal diagnosis, this code groups to these MS-DRGs (v44.0). Which one applies depends on procedures performed, secondary diagnoses (CC/MCC), and the patient's age and discharge status.
