Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.10 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris.
I25.10 refers to atherosclerotic heart disease of the native coronary artery without angina pectoris. This condition is characterized by the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, or atypical chest discomfort, although they do not experience angina pectoris. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, primarily the left and right coronary arteries. Disease progression can lead to ischemic heart disease, heart failure, or myocardial infarction if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as electrocardiograms (ECG), stress tests, and coronary angiography to assess the extent of arterial blockage. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent complications associated with coronary artery disease.

I25.10 covers atherosclerotic heart disease of the native coronary artery without the presence of angina pectoris. It includes patients with significant coronary artery stenosis who do not exhibit typical anginal symptoms.
I25.10 should be used when a patient has a confirmed diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease without angina. If the patient experiences angina, then I25.11 (with angina) would be more appropriate.
Documentation should include a comprehensive patient history, results from diagnostic tests such as ECG or angiography, and a clear statement indicating the absence of angina pectoris.
