I20-I25: Ischaemic heart diseases
I24: Other acute ischaemic heart diseases
Other acute ischaemic heart diseases represent a group of conditions characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, typically as a result of obstruction or narrowing of the coronary arteries. These conditions can occur suddenly and are usually triggered by factors such as clot formation or spasms in the blood vessels. Common symptoms often include chest pain or discomfort, which may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, back or stomach, shortness of breath, fatigue, and sweating. As the disease progresses, it can lead to damage or death of part of the heart muscle, impacting the functioning of the cardiovascular system. While these conditions primarily affect the heart, they can also have systemic effects across the body, particularly if they lead to a heart attack or heart failure.
