Ventricular Tachycardiac Type Hierarchy 4250, 4275, 4255, 4260, 4265, 4270

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses how different sequences are coded in capturing a patient's history of ventricular tachycardia. The hierarchy ranges from non-sustained to monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia by severity. Coding includes details of the most recent and significant ventricular tachycardia event, timing post-cardiac surgery, bradycardia dependency, reversible causes like acute ischemia or drug-induced, and hemodynamic instability effects. Documentation provides additional guidance for unclear cases. The registry prioritizes knowing the recent date and severity of ventricular tachycardia episodes, using estimates when necessary. Clinician consultation is advised for uncertain timelines, with a default of coding events as five years prior if no clarification is possible.
