Deliberate Triggering of an Abnormal Heart Rhythm

Virginia rates for HCPCS 93618

Using rapid or precisely timed electrical pacing through catheters already inside the heart to deliberately bring on the abnormal rhythm a patient has been having, so it can be identified and studied. Once it has been captured and analyzed the rhythm is stopped, usually by pacing again or with a shock. It is performed as part of a larger electrical study of the heart.
