Atherosclerosis of native coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.75 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of native coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris.
I25.75 refers to atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery of a transplanted heart, which is a significant cardiovascular condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. This condition can lead to angina pectoris, a type of chest pain resulting from reduced blood flow to the heart. The anatomy involved includes the native coronary arteries that remain after heart transplantation, which can still be affected by atherosclerosis due to risk factors such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. Disease progression may be insidious, often presenting with episodes of angina as the arterial lumen narrows, leading to ischemia. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress tests to assess coronary artery patency and function. Management typically involves lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and possibly revascularization procedures, depending on the severity of the disease.

I25.75 specifically covers atherosclerosis affecting the native coronary arteries of a transplanted heart, leading to angina pectoris. It is essential to document the presence of angina and the history of heart transplantation.
I25.75 should be used when the patient has a documented history of heart transplantation and presents with angina due to atherosclerosis of the native coronary arteries. It is crucial to differentiate it from other coronary artery disease codes that do not involve a transplant.
Documentation should include the patient's transplant history, current symptoms of angina, results from diagnostic tests such as angiography, and any relevant risk factors for atherosclerosis.
