With the release of the MIMIC-IV Clinical Notes, your best bet is the Past Medical History section of the discharge summaries. I do have some code kicking around somewhere that sections the data, and I'll try to put that into the repo sometime soon (but feel free to contribute your own, if you have it).

The MIMIC-IV-ED diagnoses are not great for this purpose, as the reason for an admission to the ED may be the same as it is for the ICU. There's no guarantee that the ED diagnoses are chronic and/or pre-existing to the hospital stay.
