Despite these risks for stroke, it has been estimated that at least 20% of cases of AF remain undiagnosed and are not prescribed appropriate stroke prevention therapy.” By 2050 the prevalence of AF is expected to increase by threefold and this poses a considerable public health concern. One in four individuals will experience AF in their lifetime. “Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmia globally, affecting 2% of the general population and rising to 10% of those aged over 80 years. Untreated fibrillation can lead to serious and even life-threatening complications.” I48.9 Unspecified atrial fibrillation and atrial flutterĪccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute of Health, “Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common types of arrhythmias… Atrial fibrillation causes the heart to beat much faster than normal, and the upper and lower chambers of the heart do not work together….Excludes1: Chronic persistent atrial fibrillation (I48.19).I48.20 Chronic atrial fibrillation, unspecified.
#Typical atrial flutter icd 10 code code#
Here is the FY2020 Tabular for code category I48 Atrial fibrillation and flutter: I48 Atrial fibrillation and flutter
20 Chronic atrial fibrillation, unspecified.19 Other persistent atrial fibrillation.11 Longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation.The new codes for atrial fibrillation are: The four new codes resulted from an expansion of codes I48.1 and I18.2, (below) which are no longer valid: Four new codes for atrial fibrillation were added to code category I48 Atrial fibrillation and flutter for FY2020 to enable data capture of additional specific types of atrial fibrillation (AF or A-fib).
