Chapter: 9. Diseases of the circulatory system
Section: I20-I25 - Ischemic heart diseases
Coding Guidelines
Includes

- cardiac infarction
- coronary (artery) embolism
- coronary (artery) occlusion
- coronary (artery) rupture
- coronary (artery) thrombosis
- infarction of heart, myocardium, or ventricle
- recurrent myocardial infarction
- reinfarction of myocardium
- rupture of heart, myocardium, or ventricle
- subsequent type 1 myocardial infarction
Excludes1 (Mutually Exclusive)
These codes should never be used together with I22
- subsequent myocardial infarction, type 2 (I21.A1)
- subsequent myocardial infarction of other type (type 3) (type 4) (type 5) (I21.A9)
Use Additional Code
- code, if applicable, to identify:
