| | 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) |

| *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)

| ***We need to form a workgroup and have folks work on this one.
| | |
| ::::::::A. what is types of cardiac problems are grouped under "ACS syndrome".
| | |
| ::::::::B. What is the new definition going to be.
| | |
| ::::::::C. How to remap then convert the previous codes into current ACS code. The programmer would have to write a conversion.
| | [[Category:ACS (old)]] |
| ::::::::::Volunteers for this working group or I will choose? One of the collectors from STB should be on it since the "BIG Cardiology" team is there now.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 23:18, 11 March 2009 (CDT)

| ****Without doctor's input from the very beginning, this will turn out to be ineffecient use of our time. So my suggestion is first get a cardiologist to volunteer to be on this panel, then ask data collectors who are interested to volunteer. Therefore the final decision will be sanctioned and supported by the doctors.--[[User:FLindell|FLindell]] 09:34, 16 April 2009 (CDT)
