Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition which affects the arteries that supply the heart with blood. It is usually caused by atherosclerosis which is a buildup of plaque inside the artery walls. This buildup causes the inside of the arteries to become narrower and slows down the flow of blood.
Coronary atherosclerosis due to lipid rich plaque I25. 83 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. 83 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle to keep it pumping. The coronary arteries are directly on top of your heart muscle.
CAD happens when coronary arteries struggle to supply the heart with enough blood, oxygen and nutrients. Cholesterol deposits, or plaques, are almost always to blame. These buildups narrow your arteries, decreasing blood flow to your heart. This can cause chest pain, shortness of breath or even a heart attack.

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.

Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured method used to analyze serious adverse events. Initially developed to analyze industrial accidents, RCA is now widely deployed as an error analysis tool in health care.
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.
Coronary heart disease is often referred to simply as “heart disease,” although it's not the only type of heart disease. Another term for it is coronary artery disease. About 366,000 Americans died from coronary heart disease in 2015.
4 What is the difference between arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis? Arteriosclerosis is a generic term used for hardening of arteries and arterioles. Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease of arteries affected by atheromas.
