Code I25* is the diagnosis code used for Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease, also known as Coronary artery disease (CAD). It is a is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the United States. It is sometimes called coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease. For some people, the first sign of CAD is a heart attack. You and your health care team may be able to help reduce your risk for CAD.
A: ICD-10-CM code I24. 8 would be used for demand ischemia where the patient did not have a current myocardial infarction (MI). This code also covers other forms of ischemic heart diseases.
You would use 414.0x whichever one applies.

And if an artery becomes totally blocked, it leads to a heart attack. Classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing, substernal chest pain, pain in your shoulders or arms, shortness of breath, and sweating.
Ischemic heart disease is chest pain or discomfort that recurs when part of the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. “Ischemic” means a body part is not getting enough blood flow and, thus, oxygen. Plaque buildup on the walls of the coronary arteries causes ischemic heart disease.
Ischemic heart diseases ICD-10-CM Code range I20-I25.
What is ischemic heart disease? It's the term given to heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries. When arteries are narrowed, less blood and oxygen reaches the heart muscle. This is also called coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease.
Nonobstructive CAD differs from obstructive CAD in that people with nonobstructive CAD do not have as much plaque buildup in their arteries. With obstructive CAD, the plaque buildup is significant (usually greater than 70%) and can narrow or block the arteries.
Nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is atherosclerotic plaque that would not be expected to obstruct blood flow or result in anginal symptoms.
Is this possible? A: Yes, this type of heart attack is called a myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, or MINOCA. It accounts for 5 to 6% of heart attacks. Compared with other types of heart attacks, patients are usually younger and more likely to be female.

Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of myocardial ischemia. Blood clot. The plaques that develop in atherosclerosis can rupture, causing a blood clot. The clot might block an artery and lead to sudden, severe myocardial ischemia, resulting in a heart attack.
Following the onset of heart disease, women can expect to live 7.9 years and men can expect to live 6.7 years, according to the Health and Retirement Survey study. (The survey defined “heart disease” as coronary artery disease, angina, congestive heart failure, or other heart problems.)
For hierarchical condition categories (HCC) used in Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment plans, certain diagnosis codes are used as to determine severity of illness, risk, and resource utilization. HCC impacts are often overlooked in the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM conversion. The physician should examine the patient each year and compliantly document the status of all chronic and acute conditions. HCC codes are payment multipliers.
Note: There is nothing in the documentation that says that there was an error in the prescription for Coumadin or that the patient took it incorrectly. If the prescription was correctly prescribed and correctly administered/taken then it would be an adverse effect.
