Unstable angina is also described as crescendo angina, preinfarction angina, and intermediate chest pain syndrome. Unstable angina is provoked more easily and persists for longer than stable angina.
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.

Stable angina is when you get angina symptoms during moderate physical activity or when you are pushing yourself physically. These symptoms go away with rest and/or medication. Unstable angina is when you get angina symptoms while doing very little or resting.
Five different although not mutually exclusive causes of unstable angina are now recognized. These are (1) a nonocclusive thrombus on a preexisting plaque, (2) dynamic obstruction, (3) progressive mechanical obstruction, (4) inflammation, and (5) secondary unstable angina.
When your pattern of angina has been stable for several months, it may be referred to chronic stable angina. Unstable angina is when symptoms of chest pressure, shortness of breath (or any of the others described above) occur for the first time, or have been happening for less that two weeks.
When cholesterol and other debris collect in the walls of your arteries, they harden, reducing blood flow to the heart. When this series of events occurs in the coronary artery, doctors call the plaque accumulation coronary atherosclerosis, or coronary artery disease.
Atherosclerosis thickening or hardening of the arteries. It is caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Plaque is made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin. As it builds up in the arteries, the artery walls become thickened and stiff.
