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.
Slow build-up of fatty plaque within the artery wall can cause the artery to narrow, reducing blood flow. Sudden changes in the plaque may cause angina to worsen or may cause a heart attack. A narrowing of a coronary artery is called a coronary artery stenosis.
Occlusion and stenosis of unspecified carotid artery The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I65. 29 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I65.
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common form of valvular heart disease in the elderly population and frequently occurs in conjunction with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Those most often bypassed today include the right coronary artery, the posterior descending coronary artery, the left main coronary artery, the left anterior descending coronary artery and the left circumflex coronary artery.
Aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by calcium buildup on the aortic valve over time. These calcium deposits that often come with age make the valve tissue stiff, narrow, and unyielding.
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.

As follow-up lengthened, all-cause mortality rates increased: Patients with a CAC score of 0 had a mortality rate of 0.7% at 7 years (11). The incident mortality curves revealed very low mortality through 5 years, but mortality seemed to increase substantively between 5 and 15 years of follow-up.
“For a cardiac stent procedure to qualify as a medical necessity, it is generally accepted that a patient must have at least 70% blockage of an artery and symptoms of blockage,” Justice Department attorneys wrote.
When this happens, patients may go into cardiac arrest. Statistically, Niess said widow-makers are more likely to lead to brain injury and irregular heartbeat. Although blockages can occur in other arteries leading to the heart, the LAD artery is where most blockages occur.
The LAD artery is the most commonly occluded of the coronary arteries. It provides the major blood supply to the interventricular septum, and thus bundle branches of the conducting system.
