Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with other forms of angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.118 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with other forms of angina pectoris.
I25.118 refers to atherosclerotic heart disease of the native coronary artery accompanied by other forms of angina pectoris. This condition is characterized by the buildup of plaque within the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Patients may present with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, particularly during physical exertion or emotional stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, and the heart muscle itself. Disease progression typically involves the gradual narrowing of the arteries, which can lead to ischemia and potentially result in myocardial infarction if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include patient history, physical examination, electrocardiograms (ECGs), stress tests, and imaging studies such as angiography. The presence of other forms of angina, such as stable or unstable angina, may complicate the clinical picture and necessitate a thorough evaluation to determine the appropriate management strategy.

I25.118 encompasses atherosclerotic heart disease of the native coronary artery in the presence of other forms of angina pectoris, including stable angina, unstable angina, and variant angina. It is essential to document the type of angina and its relation to the atherosclerotic disease.
I25.118 should be used when there is a confirmed diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease with documented episodes of angina. It is crucial to differentiate it from I25.119, which is used when angina is not present.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, physical examination findings, results from diagnostic tests (such as ECGs and stress tests), and any imaging studies that confirm the presence of atherosclerotic changes and angina symptoms.
