Other acute ischemic heart diseases (I24)
Ischemic heart disease is the principal etiology of heart failure in the Western world. Myocardial ischemia is important in cardiac remodeling, a process that leads to a progressive change in the shape and size of the heart and significantly worsens the prognosis of patients with heart failure. Preventing ischemic events, therefore, is an important goal in the management of patients with coronary artery disease.
Ischemia can happen due to structural or functional problems in the heart, but it can have a variety of causes. It also has many triggers, including stress and trauma. The treatment of ischemia will depend on where in the body it is affecting. It may involve surgery to widen the arteries or medications to thin the blood.
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.
two or more physician visits with a diagnosis of IHD: ICD-9-CM codes 410-414.
Ischemic heart diseases ICD-10-CM Code range I20-I25.
ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris I25. 10.
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.
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. This can ultimately lead to heart attack.
ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other coronary artery of inferior wall. I21. 19 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I21.
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.

The plaque can cause arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow. The plaque can also burst, leading to a blood clot. Although atherosclerosis is often considered a heart problem, it can affect arteries anywhere in the body. Atherosclerosis can be treated.

For ischaemic stroke, the main codes are ICD-8 433/434 and ICD-9 434 (occlusion of the cerebral arteries), and ICD-10 I63 (cerebral infarction).
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
In ICD-9, essential hypertension was coded using 401.0 (malignant), 401.1 (benign), or 401.9 (unspecified). ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.
Ischemic heart disease is a complex term for heart problems caused by the narrowing of coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. Inpatient coders and CDI professionals need to pay attention to the definition of acute ischemic syndrome and associated clinical indicators when reporting or reviewing for related diagnoses.
