Atherosclerosis of native coronary artery of transplanted heart with unstable angina
ICD-10 I25.750 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of native coronary artery of transplanted heart with unstable angina.
I25.750 refers to atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery of a transplanted heart, presenting with unstable angina. This condition arises when the transplanted heart's native coronary arteries develop atherosclerotic plaques, leading to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may experience episodes of chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms indicative of myocardial ischemia. 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 lead to acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina, which is characterized by increased frequency, duration, or intensity of angina symptoms. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram (ECG), stress testing, and imaging studies such as coronary angiography to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. Management may involve lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and potentially revascularization procedures depending on the severity of the condition.

I25.750 covers atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery of a transplanted heart specifically when the patient presents with unstable angina. This includes symptoms such as chest pain at rest, increased frequency of angina episodes, or angina that is more severe than previously experienced.
I25.750 should be used when the patient exhibits unstable angina related to atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery in a transplanted heart. It is important to differentiate this from stable angina (I25.751) or other forms of coronary artery disease to ensure accurate coding and appropriate treatment.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the patient's heart transplant, current symptoms of unstable angina, results from diagnostic tests such as ECG or angiography, and any treatment plans or interventions that have been initiated.
