Other supraventricular tachycardia
ICD-10 I47.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other supraventricular tachycardia.
I47.19 refers to 'Other supraventricular tachycardia,' which encompasses various forms of rapid heart rhythms originating above the ventricles, excluding the more commonly recognized types such as atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Clinically, patients may present with palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. The anatomy involved primarily includes the atria and the conduction pathways, such as the AV node and the bundle of His. Disease progression can vary; while some patients may experience intermittent episodes, others may develop persistent tachycardia requiring intervention. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, which are crucial for identifying the specific type of supraventricular tachycardia. Additional tests such as Holter monitoring or electrophysiological studies may be warranted for definitive diagnosis and treatment planning.

I47.19 covers various forms of supraventricular tachycardia not classified elsewhere, including but not limited to paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and junctional tachycardia. It is essential to document the specific type of tachycardia for accurate coding.
I47.19 should be used when the supraventricular tachycardia does not fit the definitions of more specific codes like I47.1 or I47.2. It is crucial to ensure that the clinical documentation supports the diagnosis of 'other' supraventricular tachycardia.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, clinical symptoms, ECG findings, and any diagnostic tests performed. Clear notes on the type of supraventricular tachycardia and treatment provided are essential for supporting the use of I47.19.
