Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD) and atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD), is caused by a thickening of the walls of the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.
ASHD is atherosclerotic heart disease.
Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris. I25. 10 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 I25.
Overview. The four main coronary arteries are the right coronary artery (RCA), left coronary artery (LCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left circumflex artery.
The original death certificate indicated that the immediate cause of death was atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD), with diabetes and Parkinson's disease contributing to death.
Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get as much blood as it needs. This usually happens because one or more of the heart's arteries is narrowed or blocked, also called ischemia.
The medical definition of silent myocardial ischemia is verified myocardial ischemia without angina. Ischemia is a reduction of oxygen-rich blood supply to the heart muscle.
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 arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function, and oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries run along the outside of the heart and have small branches that supply blood to the heart muscle.
The Coronary Arteries are the blood vessels that supply blood to your heart. They branch off of the aorta at its base. The right coronary artery, the left main coronary, the left anterior descending, and the left circumflex artery, are the four major coronary arteries.
In the absence of disease or injury, native blood vessels possess an endothelial lining that constantly secretes bioactive substances inhibiting thrombosis, promoting fibrinolysis, and inhibiting SMCs from switching from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype.
