ICD Code I24.8

ICD code I24.8 is used to identify other forms of acute ischemic heart disease that do not fall under more specific categories, such as heart conditions caused by a sudden reduction of blood flow to the heart that are not classified elsewhere.

1. Sudden onset of chest pain or discomfort suggestive of myocardial ischemia not meeting criteria for acute myocardial infarction

2. New or worsening shortness of breath associated with suspected acute coronary syndrome

3. Acute episodes of arrhythmia (such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) in the context of suspected ischemic heart disease

4. Transient electrocardiogram (ECG) changes indicative of myocardial ischemia without evidence of infarction

5. Elevated cardiac biomarkers (e.g., troponin, CK-MB) without definitive evidence of myocardial infarction

6. Acute heart failure or pulmonary edema attributed to suspected ischemic etiology

7. Sudden cardiac arrest or collapse with suspected acute ischemic origin, not classified as myocardial infarction

8. Acute coronary insufficiency or unstable angina not otherwise specified

Relevant CPT codes that may be used to treat ICD code I24.8 include:

- 92928: Percutaneous transcatheter placement of intracoronary stent(s), with coronary angioplasty when performed; single major coronary artery or branch

- 92920: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty; single major coronary artery or branch

- 93454: Catheter placement in coronary arteries for coronary angiography, including intraprocedural injection(s) and imaging supervision and interpretation

- 92941: Percutaneous transluminal revascularization of acute total/subtotal occlusion during myocardial infarction, including angioplasty, stenting, and thrombectomy when performed

- 93010: Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; interpretation and report only

- 78452: Myocardial perfusion imaging, tomographic (SPECT), multiple studies, at rest and/or stress

These CPT codes are commonly associated with the treatment and management of conditions described by ICD code I24.8.
