Code Classification

  • Diseases of the circulatory system
    (I00–I99)
    • Ischemic heart diseases

      • Chronic ischemic heart disease
        (I25)

I25.72 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with angina pectoris. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

The code is commonly used in cardiology medical specialties to specify clinical concepts such as chest pain.

Specific Coding Applicable to Atherosclerosis of autologous artery CABG w angina pectoris

Non-specific codes like I25.72 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for atherosclerosis of autologous artery cabg w angina pectoris:

  • Use I25.720 for Atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unstable angina pectoris - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I25.721 for Atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with angina pectoris with documented spasm - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I25.722 for Atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with refractory angina pectoris - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I25.728 for Atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I25.729 for Atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Angina

Angina is chest pain or discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood flow to your heart muscle. Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.

Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common heart disease. CAD happens when a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, reducing blood flow.

There are three types of angina:

  • Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. Rest and medicines usually help.
  • Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. It does not go away with rest or medicine. It is a sign that you could have a heart attack soon.
  • Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting. Medicines can help.

Not all chest pain or discomfort is angina. If you have chest pain, you should see your health care provider.

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Plaque is a sticky substance made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries. That limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your body.

Atherosclerosis can lead to serious problems, including:

  • Coronary artery disease. These arteries supply blood to your heart. When they are blocked, you can suffer angina or a heart attack.
  • Carotid artery disease. These arteries supply blood to your brain. When they are blocked you can suffer a stroke.
  • Peripheral arterial disease. These arteries are in your arms, legs and pelvis. When they are blocked, you can suffer from numbness, pain and sometimes infections.

Atherosclerosis usually doesn't cause symptoms until it severely narrows or totally blocks an artery. Many people don't know they have it until they have a medical emergency.

A physical exam, imaging, and other diagnostic tests can tell if you have it. Medicines can slow the progress of plaque buildup. Your doctor may also recommend procedures such as angioplasty to open the arteries, or surgery on the coronary or carotid arteries. Lifestyle changes can also help. These include following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and managing stress.
