Coronary Artery Disease ICD-10 Codes (I25)
Coronary artery disease falls under the ICD-10-CM I25 category for chronic ischemic heart disease. Here are the common codes — confirm against the current release before use.
Common coronary artery disease ICD-10 codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| I25.10 | Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris |
| I25.110 | …of native coronary artery with unstable angina |
| I25.119 | …of native coronary artery with unspecified angina |
| I25.2 | Old myocardial infarction |
| I25.5 | Ischemic cardiomyopathy |
| I25.9 | Chronic ischemic heart disease, unspecified |
I25.10 is the workhorse code for uncomplicated CAD without angina.
Disease of bypass grafts
Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass grafts has its own subcategories (for example, I25.7xx for autologous vein or artery grafts with angina). Use the code that matches the graft type and whether angina is present.
Coding tips
- Distinguish CAD with angina (I25.11-) from without (I25.10).
- Add the angina detail (unstable vs stable) when documented.
- Old (healed) MI is I25.2; an acute MI uses the I21 category instead.
