  • I47.21 Torsades de pointes
  • I47.22 Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [CPVT]
  • I47.29 Other ventricular tachycardia

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Ventricular tachycardia
  2. FY2023 Stopped being billable
