ICD-10 Code I47.29 – Other ventricular tachycardia (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I47.29 – Other ventricular tachycardia
What it is
ICD-10 code I47.29 identifies ventricular tachycardia that does not fit a more specific category. It refers to a fast rhythm arising from the ventricles, documented as “other” ventricular tachycardia.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include a rapid wide-complex tachycardia, palpitations, dizziness, syncope, or hemodynamic instability when the rhythm is sustained.
When to use this code
Use I47.29 when the provider documents ventricular tachycardia but does not specify a more precise type such as sustained, nonsustained, or polymorphic VT. It also fits cases labeled “other VT” or similar wording in the record. Make sure the documentation clearly supports a ventricular origin.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, or atrial flutter. If the record identifies a specific ventricular tachycardia subtype, check documentation and code that more specific diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Code only what the provider documents; if the rhythm type is unclear, query for clarification before assigning I47.29.
