I4510 - A heart rhythm condition where electrical signals are delayed in the right side of the heart
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
Right bundle-branch block is a condition where the electrical signals that control your heartbeat are delayed or blocked as they travel through the right side of your heart. The 'bundle branches' are like electrical wires that carry signals to make your heart beat properly. When there's a block in the right bundle branch, the right side of your heart contracts slightly later than the left side. This is often harmless and many people have no symptoms, though it can sometimes indicate underlying heart conditions. The 'unspecified' designation means the exact type or cause of the block wasn't determined during this visit.
Additional Information
Right bundle-branch block is often discovered incidentally during routine EKGs and may not require treatment. However, if it develops suddenly or is accompanied by symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, further evaluation is typically needed to rule out underlying heart problems.
