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.

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.
Ischemic heart diseases ICD-10-CM Code range I20-I25.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS, formerly called ischemic heart disease) refers to a large spectrum of clinical conditions including unstable angina, myocardial injury, and myocardial infarction (MI).
Acute ischemic heart disease, unspecified I24. 9 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 I24. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
two or more physician visits with a diagnosis of IHD: ICD-9-CM codes 410-414.
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.
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)Microvascular Angina.Stable Angina Pectoris.Vasospastic Angina (Prinzmetal Variant Angina)
The term acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is applied to patients in whom there is a suspicion or confirmation of acute myocardial ischemia or infarction. Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), ST-elevation MI (STEMI), and unstable angina are the three traditional types of ACS.
Ischemia can be acute, due to a sudden reduction in blood flow, or chronic, due to slowly decreasing blood flow. It requires medical attention because it can cause potentially life threatening complications.
What is ischemia? Ischemia is a condition in which the blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted or reduced in a part of the body. Cardiac ischemia is the name for decreased blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle.
Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) is obstructed by a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery by a buildup of plaques (atherosclerosis). If the plaques rupture, you can have a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Cardiac ischemia is assessed by the electrocardiogram (ECG) and interpretation of the symptoms. An initial troponin measurement should be made as well as assessment of renal function and other appropriate laboratory tests and investigations guided by the clinical presentation of the patient.
Demand ischemia is an inexact term that is frequently used incorrectly. Demand ischemia is a physiologic description that should be used when the demand for myocardial oxygen is greater than the supply (supply-demand mismatch).
