Supraventricular tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia is rated under 38 CFR 38 CFR § 4.104, Diagnostic Code 7010, from 10% to 30% based on the frequency and functional severity of symptoms. The maximum 30% rating requires: Confirmed by ECG, with five or more treatment interventions per year. Most claims establish the 10% or 30% rating before reaching the top tier.

Common Questions About Supraventricular tachycardia VA Ratings
What is the VA rating range for Supraventricular tachycardia?
The VA rates Supraventricular tachycardia under Diagnostic Code 7010 at 10%, 30%. The minimum 10% rating requires: Confirmed by ECG, with one to four treatment interventions per year; or, confirmed by ECG with either continuous use of oral medications to control or use of vagal maneuvers to control. The maximum 30% rating requires: Confirmed by ECG, with five or more treatment interventions per year.
Which 38 CFR diagnostic code does the VA use for Supraventricular tachycardia?
The VA rates Supraventricular tachycardia under Diagnostic Code (DC) 7010, governed by 38 CFR 38 CFR § 4.104. The diagnostic code establishes the specific rating tiers and severity criteria the VA examiner applies.
What is the difference between a 10% and a 30% rating for Supraventricular tachycardia?
A 10% rating requires: Confirmed by ECG, with one to four treatment interventions per year; or, confirmed by ECG with either continuous use of oral medications to control or use of vagal maneuvers to control. A 30% rating requires: Confirmed by ECG, with five or more treatment interventions per year. The difference typically reflects the frequency, severity, or functional impact of the condition as documented in medical records and C&P examination findings.
Can Supraventricular tachycardia qualify for TDIU (Total Disability Individual Unemployability)?
Veterans rated for Supraventricular tachycardia may qualify for TDIU if the condition — alone or in combination with other service-connected disabilities — prevents substantially gainful employment. A single disability rated at 60% or higher (or multiple disabilities combining to 70%, with one at 40%) can support a TDIU claim under 38 CFR § 4.16.
What evidence do I need to establish service connection for Supraventricular tachycardia?
Service connection for Supraventricular tachycardia requires three elements: (1) a current diagnosis of the condition, (2) an in-service event, injury, or disease, and (3) a medical nexus linking the current diagnosis to that in-service occurrence. A nexus letter from a treating or independent medical examiner is the most reliable nexus evidence.
What is the C&P exam like for Supraventricular tachycardia?
A Compensation & Pension (C&P) exam for Supraventricular tachycardia uses a Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) specific to the body system involved. The examiner documents the frequency, severity, and functional impact of your symptoms. Bring all relevant treatment records and be prepared to describe your worst-day symptoms — the examiner rates your condition based on the full clinical picture, not a single visit.
