Mrs. George is a 48-year-old female who was brought to the hospital with a complaint of sudden heaviness and pain in the chest. She has a history of uncontrolled diabetes. Based on the assessments, the diagnosis was given as angina. Select the suitable ICD-10 code for this diagnosis.
  1. I20
  2. I21
  3. I22
  4. I23
Explanation
Answer: A 

I20 is the appropriate code for this patient as she is diagnosed with angina and this code codes for angina pectoris. 

Option B is not correct because I21 codes for acute myocardial infarction because this is not the diagnosis here. 

Option C is not correct because I22 codes for subsequent STEMI and NSTEMI myocardial infarction which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option D is not correct because I23 codes for complications due to STEMI and NSTEMI myocardial infarction which is not the diagnosis here.
