Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea is a common symptom of several heart conditions such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, in addition to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and sleep apnea. [8] Other symptoms that may be seen alongside paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea are weakness, orthopnea, edema, fatigue, and dyspnea. [9]
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes G40-G47 within Chapter VI: Diseases of the nervous system should be included in this category. Subcategories This category has the following 4 subcategories, out of 4 total.
Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]
This elimination of the atrial fibrillation with ablation implies APs have some pathophysiologic role in the development of a-fib in the WPW patient. [ 4 ] Functionally defined re-entry does not require the alternative anatomically defined circuit accessory pathways and it may not reside in just one location. [ 5 ]
Overall incidence of sinus node dysfunction increases with age [10] with 1 in 1000 in adults over 45 years old [6] and 1 in 600 cardiac patients over 65 years old. [5] Sinus node dysfunction is the primary indication for approximately 30%-50% of all pacemaker implantation in the United States. [ 10 ]
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the ventricles of the heart quiver. [2] It is due to disorganized electrical activity. [2] Ventricular fibrillation results in cardiac arrest with loss of consciousness and no pulse. [1]
Familial atrial fibrillation is an autosomal dominant heart condition that causes disruptions in the heart's normal rhythm. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This condition is characterized by uncoordinated electrical activity in the heart's upper chambers (the atria ), which causes the heartbeat to become fast and irregular.
