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.

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.
