The categorization of Atrial Fibrillation, an irregular and often rapid heart rate, involves a variety of Atrial Fibrillation ICD codes. Here are some commonly used ones: I48.0- Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: This code refers to AF that begins suddenly and ends spontaneously. ...
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTs) guidelines on “The management of atrial fibrillation” (Kirchhof et al, 2016) stated that “Adequately powered controlled trials are urgently needed to inform the best use of these devices, includi...

A 50-year-old male with a history of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 30% requiring single chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) has been well controlled with minimal AF recurrences on chronic amiodarone...
In patients with untreated atrial fibrillation the ventricular rate is often faster than 150 beats/min (Figure 15-24) and is typically accelerated by exercise, even if it is well controlled at rest (Figure 15-25). Myocardial ischemia may be exposed during a rapid rate analogous to a positive...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with various major adverse cardiac events such as ischemic stroke, heart failure, and increased overall mortality. However, its association with lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular flutter (VFL), and ventricular fibrillatio...
However, the relative consistency of findings with the PREDATE AF study,25 ASSERT-II,24 and the pacemaker/ICD population suggests that the REVEAL AF cohort likely is representative of the general population. Conclusions Atrial fibrillation 6 or more minutes is frequently detected with ICM monitoring ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with numerous diseases. However, whether AF is a cause or consequence of these diseases is uncertain. To clarify, we assessed the causal role of AF on ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, other cardiovascular disease (CVD) subtypes, type 2 diabetes...
