ICD-Code I46.0: Cardiac arrest with successful resuscitation

You were resuscitated after a cardiac arrest.

The heart pumps blood through the body. In the process, the blood flows through blood vessels. The blood supplies all areas of the body with oxygen and nutrients.

Your heart stopped beating. A cardiac arrest can have various causes. The heart itself may be diseased. Disorders in other organs or serious injuries can also cause cardiac arrest. Resuscitation measures can help the heart to beat again.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
