Chest pain due to a clot which decreases but does not block blood flow. The chest pain is either the new onset of angina or a change in the usual pattern of chest pain or discomfort (getting worse, lasting longer, occurs with less exercise or other stimuli than usual or not being relieved with rest or use of medications).


151 UNSTABLE ANGINA  PAIN < 15 MIN. RELIEVED BY NITRO OR @ REST
Unstable angina is dangerous as may be NSTEMI or become a STEMI, and requires urgent intervention, such as adjustment of medications and angioplasty with stents. - [[p:Marla Penner]] - 12:12, 2014 October 14 (CDT)




==Discussion==
*At our most recent meeting on April 8,2009 Trish said if the doctors are calling the cardiac chest pain "unstable angina" code it that way. If they are calling the cardiac chest pain coronary insufficiency then code it that way.She mentioned taking away the definitions in the code book.

***I agree with you that the wording or classifications are used differently now. At the VIC if it is not clearly an STEMI or a NSTEMI we use Acute Coronary Insufficiency. If they have a history of chest pain that is not described as Unstable angina, we use 152 - Chronic stable angina. I would like us to be to use the classification ACS (unless it is clearly an NSTEMI) [[User:JWinestock|JWinestock]] 17:06, 3 March 2009 (CST)

Chest pain due to a clot which decreases but does not block blood flow. The chest pain is either the new onset of angina or a change in the usual pattern of chest pain or discomfort (getting worse, lasting longer, occurs with less exercise or other stimuli than usual or not being relieved with rest or use of medications).

Unstable angina is dangerous as may be NSTEMI or become a STEMI, and requires urgent intervention, such as adjustment of medications and angioplasty with stents. - p:Marla Penner - 12:12, 2014 October 14 (CDT)
