About I25

I25 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chronic ischemic heart disease. It belongs to block I20-I25 (ischemic heart diseases) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I25.1 (artery), I25.2 (infarction), I25.3 (heart), I25.4 (dissection), I25.5 (cardiomyopathy), I25.6 (ischemia), I25.7 (pectoris), I25.8 (disease) and 1 more.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of I25, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: non-ischemic myocardial injury (I5A).

Use an additional code to identify: chronic total occlusion of coronary artery (I25.82), exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and 1 more.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
