ICD Code I47.11

ICD code I47.11 is inappropriate sinus tachycardia, meaning the heart beats faster than normal due to abnormal signaling from the sinus node, without an obvious cause such as exercise or illness.

1. Persistent or recurrent sinus tachycardia not explained by physiological causes such as exercise, fever, anxiety, or pain

2. Resting heart rate typically greater than 100 beats per minute

3. Symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, or shortness of breath

4. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showing sinus rhythm with inappropriate elevation of heart rate

5. Absence of underlying structural heart disease, hyperthyroidism, anemia, or other secondary causes of tachycardia

6. Diagnosis confirmed by exclusion of other causes of sinus tachycardia
