ICD-10-CM Code for Coronary atherosclerosis due to calcified coronary lesion I25. 84.
Coronary calcification occurs when calcium builds up in the plaque found in the walls of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. The presence of coronary calcification can be an early sign of coronary artery disease, which can cause a heart attack.
What is a Calcium Heart Score? Your calcium heart score measures the amount of plaque built up in the walls of the arteries in your heart. The cholesterol that deposits in the arterial walls becomes calcified, and this calcium can be detected by a CT scanner, just like Xrays can look at the calcium of your bones.

ResultsA score of zero means no calcium is seen in the heart. ... When calcium is present, the higher the score, the higher your risk of heart disease.A score of 100 to 300 means moderate plaque deposits. ... A score greater than 300 is a sign of very high to severe disease and heart attack risk.Jul 23, 2021
What does this mean for you? Also known as electron-beam CT, or EBCT, the $400 test measures the amount of calcium build-up in the heart arteries, giving you a "calcium score." This score is an indication of artery blockage, but doctors don't agree on how well it foretells the future.Jan 23, 2002
Now a high calcium score does not directly mean your arteries are blocked with plaque or calcium. It's a predictor, much like cholesterol. It's a very good predictor. And unlike often used measures like your cholesterol and Framingham Risk Score, this is a 5 year risk predictor.
