Atherosclerosis of native coronary artery of transplanted heart with other forms of angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.758 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of native coronary artery of transplanted heart with other forms of angina pectoris.
I25.758 refers to atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery of a transplanted heart, accompanied by other forms of angina pectoris. This condition arises when the transplanted heart's native coronary arteries develop atherosclerosis, leading to reduced blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms of angina, which can manifest as chest pain, discomfort, or pressure, particularly during physical exertion or stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, which can become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. Disease progression can vary, with some patients experiencing stable angina, while others may develop unstable angina or even myocardial infarction. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as coronary angiography or stress testing to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. Early identification and management are crucial to prevent serious complications.

I25.758 covers atherosclerosis affecting the native coronary arteries of a transplanted heart, specifically when the patient experiences other forms of angina pectoris, which may include stable or unstable angina.
I25.758 should be used when there is documented atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery of a transplanted heart accompanied by angina symptoms. It is important to differentiate from codes that do not specify angina or those that pertain to non-transplanted hearts.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history of heart transplant, current symptoms of angina, results from diagnostic tests (e.g., angiography), and treatment plans that address the atherosclerosis and angina management.
