Can you be more specific?

Use these diagnoses instead:

• Angina
• Unstable angina
• Myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI)

• Is the infarction a ST-wave elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-wave myocardial infarction?
• Where is the infarct located?
  • Transmural
  • Anterior wall
  • Inferior wall
  • Subendocardial
  • Other site
• Document date of most recent myocardial infarction (there is a different code for a prior infact within the last four weeks and one earlier than four weeks ago)
