Clinical Information
  • A cardiac rhythm characterized by a regular sinus/atrial rhythm with intermittent nonconducted p waves. There is a constant pr interval in the conducted beats
  • A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with relatively constant pr interval prior to the block of an atrial impulse. This is the result of intermittent failure of atrial electrical impulse conduction through the atrioventricular (av) node to the ventricles
  • Intermittent failure of atrial electrical impulse conduction through the atrioventricular (av) node to the ventricles, characterized by a relatively constant pr interval prior to the block of an atrial impulse
Applies To
  • Incomplete atrioventricular block:
    • Mobitz (type) II
    • second degree, Mobitz (type) II

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 426.12 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services. Can't find a code?
